Temnothorax sentosus is a species of ant in the genus Temnothorax , [2] that is native to Kazakhstan. [1]

First described as Leonomyrma spinosa by Arnol'di (1968), and then moved to Chalepoxenus (as Chalepoxenus spinosus), the species became a secondary junior homonym and given the replacement name Temnothorax sentosus when Chalepoxenus was synonymized with Temnothorax by Ward et al. (2015). [3]
