Etymology Not stated. The subspecific epithet minuta is a Latin adjective, feminine of minutus and meaning 'small' or 'little', and presumably refers to the small size of the subspecies, stated to differ from the stem species by its smaller size: ''Die Subspezies unterscheidet sich von der Stammart in der geringeren Größe [...]'' (Hartmann-Schröder, 1965: 198).

Habitat Mixed sediments, or silt with stones. [details]
Synonymy Paraonis gracilis is long recombined as Levinsenia gracilis, it follows automatically that its subspecies also at least belong in Levinsenia. However, Strelzov (1973) placed Paraonis gracilis minuta as a synonym of the nominal species as Tauberia gracilis (now Levinsenia). Lovell & Fitzhugh (2020) followed this synonymy [details]
