From what I have heard/read, Tommy, the jury is still out on whether "bulbophyllum minutissimum is pretty much bulbophyllum moniliforme". Jay makes some interesting points for their likely being separate:
I believe I had read, btw, that minutissimum can be difficult/finicky.
Many thanks Paul, for me the most important is that they nearly look the same and they are really really small, that means really perfect for my hygrolon cylinder, so I am fine with moniliforme that is available online:-)
I saw this thread earlier today and then remembered it when I came across this listing on Ebay for a "Bulbophyllum ovalifolium var.flava" while checking out "miniature orchid" listings (I was looking for miniature phals hehe) Dunno if you've seen it yet or not, but it looks like there's a few listed on there besides this one!
I have a couple Chiloschista's that would technically count as micro's due to the size of their leaves. I should post a pic if my leafless tank sometime, you guys might like it.

From left to right: C. ramifera, Taeniophyllum biocetallum(?sp), C. yunnanensis, Taenio. obtusum, C. ramiferaXextinctiformis, Solenangis aphylla, C. segawai, C. extinctiformis.
They have super tiny leaves. A couple dropped their leaves for the season though, that was the best shot I could get. There are several more Chilo's I have my eye on, and I still need species from Dendrophylax and Microcoelia.
