I found this queen ant but she's dead. I would like to know the species of ant she is, the exact species is not necessary, just the genus.

Date: September 5pm
Location: Malaysia

Favorite ant:
Polyrhachis/Echinopla

Founding:
-Dark Camponotus nicobarensis
-Polyrhachis illaudata
-Polyrhachis beccarii
-Polyrhachis rastellata 2x

Beginners must not keep Polyrhachis!

She's a Camponotus queen. She looks rather interesting, I've never seen this species of Camponotus in Malaysia before.

Goodluck with species...

I know, yikes. Although she could be a subspecies of Camponotus irritans.
