The name is given in honor of Milan Janda who has collected the holotype specimen and provided valuable other material for this study.	en	Seifert, Bernhard (2025): Treachery pigmentation pattern leads to misidentification: Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), Tapinoma pygmaeum (Dufour) and Tapinoma jandai sp. nov.

D9A537EC71C45992A1372D813F6CE873.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Worker (Figs 3 – 6; only arithmetic mean of numeric data given here, for full data see Table 1): Minute, mean CS = 454 μm. Head elongated, CL / CW 1.141. Postocular index larger than in T. melanocephalum, PoOc / CL 0.495. Hind margin of vertex usually very weakly excavated, ExOcc / CS 0.47 %. Anterior clypeal margin not or only very slightly excavated, ExCly / CS 0.63 %. Minimum distance of the inner margins of antennal socket rings slightly smaller than in T. melanocephalum, dAN / CS 0.326. Scape and 3 nd segment of antennal funiculus much shorter than in T. melanocephalum, SL / CS 0.841, Fu 3 / CS 9.69 %. Second funiculus segment much shorter than both in T. melanocephalum and T. pygmaeum, always shorter than wide, Fu 2 / CS 7.26 %, IFu 2 0.751 (Fig. 6). Maximum eye diameter notably smaller than in T. melanocephalum, EL / CS 0.246. Mesosoma more compact, with a larger width than both in T. melanocephalum and T. pygmaeum, MW / CS 0.675; longer than in T. melanocephalum, ML / CS 1.152. Metanotal depression very shallow, MGr / CS 1.31 %. Pubescence hairs on all body surfaces longer and shaggier than in T. melanocephalum – as result more fine hairs protruding beyond the anteromedian margin of clypeus, nExCly 3.24. Head and mesosoma medium to blackish brown; gaster, antennae and legs always notably lighter, in dried specimens very pale yellowish or very pale brownish. Accordingly, it shows basically the same light-dark contrasts as usually seen in T. melanocephalum. Deviating color morphs not known so far.	en	Seifert, Bernhard (2025): Treachery pigmentation pattern leads to misidentification: Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), Tapinoma pygmaeum (Dufour) and Tapinoma jandai sp. nov.
