Trachymyrmex septentrionalis fly during the late morning, around 9-11 AM I believe and you can catch Cyphomyrmex rimosus in the morning (I know that this doesn't help you buy them, but this is just in case you are having trouble buying them)
The Cyphomyrmex, I believe, will come to blacklights if I remember right.. I recommend setting up at like 0400 or 0430 in the morning for Cypho, should catch them easy. I do not remember what you need for them to make their fungus, though.. I feel like it's frass but I forget.

In addition to the species you mentioned there is also mycetomoellerius jamaicensis, although you need to go to the keys to find them.
My journals:
Polyergus Mexicanus: https://www.formicul...gs/#entry175528
Lasius minutus: https://www.formicul...cs/#entry174811
Lasius latipes: https://www.formicul...gs/#entry206449

Yeah I unfortunately lump these in with "Cephalotes" as ants I would enjoy but will probably never be able to find
