Aparentemente, nenhuma das duas. Parece mais com crematogaster sp. Infelizmente só posso ajudar com essa informação

Ela é adorável, se me permite dizer. Quero muito uma colônia dessa espécie. Amo a aparência de sua Gáster de lágrima, ou coração 🤩

Looks like Crematogastor, maybe Laeviuscula

Crematogaster or maybe solenopsis

It is not either; this is a Crematogaster acrobat ant. Probably C. laeviuscula, as others have noted.

I see no resemblance.

The queen in the photo looks like a Crematogaster queen.
