Is this Crematogaster ferrarii or angulosa or maybe another species? 

Location: Indonesia
Workers are around 2-2,5mm
Dark brown, smooth and shiny cuticle. 2 short propodeum spines.

No no, the quality on those is great. I mainly need better angles; if you could isolate a worker or two for better angles and get better angles of the gyne it should be good enough.

great quality!
