i agree with the carebara
The first queen is Camponotus sp., perhaps in the Myrmaphaenus or Myrmobrachys subgenus and the second queen is Carebara castanea.
Currently Keeping:
Camponotus chromaiodes, Camponotus nearcticus, Stigmatomma pallipes, Strumigenys brevisetosa, Strumigenys clypeata, Strumigenys louisianae, Strumigenys membranifera, Strumigenys reflexa, Strumigenys rostrata
The first queen is Camponotus sp., perhaps in the Myrmaphaenus or Myrmobrachys subgenus and the second queen is Carebara castanea.
I agree with Camponotus and Carebara.
However, I wouldn't state the subgenera for the Camponotus—those are both endemic to the Americas.
As for the species ID, I wouldn't go that far, either. Not only is C. castanea native to Indochina (While this was found on Java, an island hundreds of miles away from where specimens of C. castaena were collected), but the pictures aren't near good enough to get an accurate ID. Especially in a biological hotspot, which has 26 Carebara species alone.

The first one is Colobopsis or Camponotus, the second one is Carebara cf. castanea. (In case you didn't know, the cf. is not part of the species name, but is added to indicate uncertainty.)
Currently keeping:
Tetramorium immigrans, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis
Myrmica punctiventris, Formica subsericea
Formica pallidefulva, Aphaeogaster cf. rudis
Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Camponotus nearcticus
Crematogaster cerasi
Temnothorax ambiguus
Prenolepis imparis

Hence the cf.

The species Carebara lignata, found in Java, appears to be very similar to castanea. It's largely possible this queen is that species.
I'm thinking colobopsis and carebara lignata (note that carebara queens are EXTREMELY sensitive and should not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary)

Again, Colobopsis have truncated faces.
In many species, truncation is less evident, especially in queens. The ant in question looks about right for Colobopsis vitrea, but could just as easily be a phragmotic Camponotus species like C. bellus.

i check both of them, they look similar , maybe we need to wait until she have worker
so far i never saw worker with this kind of coloration.
