I don't know what type she is, but she is a queen!
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

She is indeed Odontoponera denticulata and a queen as well. They are semi-claustral.
