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

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]
