Rotastruma is a small genus of arboreal ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. [2] Its two species are known from the Oriental region: the type species Rotastruma recava is known from the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Singapore, and Rotastruma stenoceps is known from Guangdong, China. [3]
Little is known about the genus, and like most other arboreal ants, their biology remains unknown. However, they seem to have affinities with Paratopula and Romblonella. [3]
