Taxonomic remark Hoffmann & Lüter (2010) record several additional specimens from around the western Pacific (off Fiji; Lizard Island, Australia; & Okinawa, Japan) as 'Minutella cf. minuta' due to minor differences from type material. However Logan & Bitner (2013) consider that these differences are likely just variation, and all are attributable to Minutella minuta. [details]
