We looked into this on BOLD a
We looked into this on BOLD and they have I. bonifata and I. minuta in the same BIN. Since the type specimen for I. minuta looks nothing like the I. minuta on BOLD, it may be that BOLD's original source material for this species is really I. bonifata or maybe another closely related undescribed species.

From Hugh McGuinness:
"OK, I looked at the type of minuta [at USNM] yesterday, and I can say with certainty that there are no living specimens of minuta on MPG or at Bugguide. All the living photos show bonifata. The photo of the pinned minuta credited to Charlie Covell looks correct. So in summary, all living images of minuta at MPG and Bugguide should be moved to the bonifata pages."
