Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage gradually tapered and evenly curved dorsad from base to apex, extended beyond lobe. Subgenital plate moderately long, curved gradually and slightly dorsad, distal section less darkly pigmented than basal section, dorsal callosity short and relatively tall. Style without preapical lobe, apex enlarged with prominent preapical heel, distal section relatively long, with several transverse rugae. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium as long as shaft, sclerotized part narrow and evenly curved dorsad; shaft moderately broad, curved slightly anterodorsad, apex bluntly rounded; in posterior view with preatrium slightly constricted, atrial processes broad and weakly bilobed.

Female unknown.

Material examined. Holotype male, labeled “20426; Mt. Makiling / Luzon, Baker; Holotype / over / only spcmn. / in Baker / coll’n D.A.Y.; Makilingia / woodworthi / Baker; JNZ_AA0091; USNMENT / 01513417”. Other material. 1 male, labeled “Mt. Makiling / Luzon, Baker; St. 3-1862C / USNM; Makilingia / woodworthi / Baker / Det. J.N. Zahniser 2018; USNMENT / 01513418” ( USNM).

Notes. This species is very similar to M. flavifrons in the color pattern of the head but the anterior margin of the head is more broadly rounded, the black markings of the crown are narrower and the margin of the gena is pale orange rather than black.
