Makilingia maculamima n. sp.

( Figs 1 V–W, 5P–T)

Length of male 5.2–5.4 mm. Coloration. Black overall; crown with two pairs of orange marginal spots, forewing clavus with large bright yellow transcommissural marking constricted near middle, corium black with small semicircular clear area near apex of costal margin; legs yellow. Structure. Head strongly produced with crown anterior margin parabolic; face with frontoclypeus and anteclypeus shagreen, distinct pits restricted to gena, clypeal suture weakly delimited. Forewing venation poorly delimited, without supernumerary branches or crossveins.

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage moderately broad, nearly straight, extended well beyond apex of lobe. Subgenital plate relatively long and robust, slightly but evenly curved dorsad, distal lobe darkly pigmented ventromedially, unpigmented dorsolaterally, dorsal callosity small. Style with preapical lobe forming right angle, apex avicephaliform. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium shorter than shaft, very narrow and strongly curved, with triangular posterior tooth near midlength; shaft broad, compressed, robust with anteroapical ridge hoodlike; in posterior view with preatrium broad basally, narrowed distad, atrium triangular with pair of depressed lateral flanges, shaft narrow basally, broadened distally to rounded narrowly emarginate apex.

Etymology. The species name refers to the similarity of this species to M. maculata .

Material examined. Holotype male from Baker collection labeled "Surigao/ Mindanao/ Baker; USNMENT / 01513419" ( USNM).

Notes. This species closely resembles M. maculata in size and color pattern but differs in having the head more strongly produced and in the structure of the male genitalia.
