Temnothorax inquilinus is a species of ant in the genus Temnothorax [2] native to Ukraine. [1]

First described as Chalepoxenus tauricus by Radchenko (1989), the species became a secondary junior homonym and given the replacement name Temnothorax inquilinus when Chalepoxenus was synonymized with Temnothorax by Ward et al. (2015). [3]
