Nine females from China (Inner Mongolia) have the spermatheca with a shorter ramus and more slender collum and nine spines at the protibial apex in comparison with previously known material, including the type specimens, of the species having only eight spines. Due to the lack of males of this population we currently retain it as conspecific with

China, Yunnan, Lunan.
Body length: 1.87–2.39 mm, holotype 2.13 mm.
The majority of the material was collected by sifting wet debris under trees along the border of an old orchard.
The new species is dedicated to one of the collectors and a very good friend of the second author, Dr. Jan Růžička (University of Life Science, Prague). The Czech name Jan has its nickname “Honza”. The specific name is a noun in apposition.
