Makilingia nigra Baker, 1914: 411 , Fig. 1

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage large, extended well beyond apex of lobe, distal portion expanded preapically and footlike with angulate ventral preapical heel. Subgenital plate with distal lobe relatively long and slender, slightly curved dorsad, in ventral view strongly tapered, dorsal callosity relatively small. Style basal lobe large and rounded, preapical lobe rectangular, apex short and strongly curved without preapical heel. Aedeagus with preatrium nearly as long as shaft, moderately broad in lateral view, evenly curved dorsad; shaft in lateral view rectangular, broad, with weak anterior apical arcuate rim and pair of curved posterior vertical ridges, atrium with lateral processes lobelike; in posterior view shaft relatively broad and very slightly tapered to emarginate apex, atrial processes curved ventrad, preatrium slightly constricted medially.

Female. Sternite VII less than twice as wide as long, posterior margin with trapezoid-shaped lobe; sternite VIII partially sclerotized with anterior median lobe extended anterad of sternite VII. Second valvula with dorsal margin broadly biarcuate, dorsal teeth moderately prominent and more closely set near base and apex.

Material examined. Lectotype male, here designated, Makilingia nigra Baker. Labeled “Mt. Banahao / P.I., Baker; Cotype No. / U.S. N.M.; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia nigra Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513321”. 2 male and 1 female paralectotypes labeled same as lectotype, with paralectotype designation labels and USNMENT barcode labels numbered 0 1513320, 0 1513293, and 0 1513294. 1 female paralectotype with handwritten labels “Bho; Makilingia nigra Baker [old red label]” with paralectotype designation label and “USNMENT / 01513318”. Male from Baker collection labeled: "Surigao/ Mindanao/ Baker"; female labeled "Mt. Makiling/ Luzon, Baker" ( USNM). Other material: 1 male, 1 female, 1 sex indet. (abdomen missing) labeled “No. 383- [E, G, and B, respectively] PI / Loc Gbtn., Albay / Date 22-XII-1950 / Coll. A.E. Bigornia ”, with USNMENT barcode labels numbered 0 1513436 thru -438 ( USNM).

Notes. The abbreviation “Gbtn.” likely refers to the municipality of Guinobatan in the province of Albay.
