Whats the subspecies of this colony

So I found the species of the ants in my colony on this website.

http://termitesandants.blogspot.com/2010/01/camponotus-genus.html?m=1

They listed it under a small subspecies of camponotus irritans as camponotus sp(02) but i cant seem to find this exact subspecies on any other site.

Does anyone know the subspecies of the ants listed on the website as camponotus sp(02)? I caught the queen in singapore so it belongs to the southeast asia/malaysia region?

Subspecies are hard to tell. Usually it is based on hairs on the ants or even a slightly different color
