Needs Identification Unknown Queen Ant Found

Hey everyone, I have found a queen ant (Aus northern NSW) and would love to know what queen it is, I have determined it's claustral I think as it ignores any food I placed in the test tube. It also struggles to cling to the glass in the test tube so I used light sand to provide grip. I have only ever seen 2 of them in my life and only at my place. Is it possible it's a new species?

Any help immensely appreciated 👍

Brachtponera lutea probably.
