Heya, any advice on Notoncus sp?

Hey so 3 of my queens were recently identified as Notoncus sp, and from my research, barely anything is known about them! They don't even have a common name. Although youtuber Antmate did name them "Spine Back Ants" for their spiny back, I'd love to know if anyone kept or have kept this ant.

Thanks.

I've heard they're rare. Are they?

Can you post photos of the queens? I'm interested in what they look like.

I'm almost convinced that she's N. capitatus. They'll probably need the same as any other ant.
