Makilingia maculata, 1914: 412 , Fig. 3

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage moderately broad, nearly straight, extended well beyond apex of lobe. Subgenital plate moderately long and robust, slightly but evenly curved dorsad, distal lobe lightly pigmented ventromedially, darkly pigmented dorsolaterally, dorsal callosity small. Style with preapical lobe forming right angle, apex footlike with angulate preapical heel. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium nearly as long as shaft, moderately broad and strongly curved; shaft broad, robust with weak anteroapical ridge; in posterior view with preatrium broad constricted medially, atrium with pair of large weakly bilobed lateral flanges, shaft broad basally, tapered distally to rounded apex.

Female. Sternite VII less than twice as wide as long, tapered, posterior margin with pair of narrow lateral lobes flanking broader, shorter medial lobe. Second valvula with dorsal margin biarcuate, teeth numerous, short, blunt.

Material examined. Lectotype male of M. maculata Baker , here designated, labeled: “ Mt. Banahao / P.I., Baker; Cotype No. / U.S. N.M.; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / maculata Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513397”. 1 male paralectotype, first two labels same as lectotype, also labeled “ Makilingia / maculata / Baker; PARALECTOTYPE / Makilingia / maculata Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT 01513399”. 1 female paralectotype, labeled “ Mt. Makiling / Luzon, Baker; Cotype No. / U.S. N.M.; PARALECTOTYPE / Makilingia / maculata Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT 01513398”. Other material. One male from Baker collection labeled "Malinao/ Tayabas/ Baker"; one female labeled "Surigao/ Mindanao/ Baker" ( USNM).

Notes. This species resembles M. intermedia in coloration but differs in having the pale markings of the clavus more extensive and the processes of the aedeagal atrium greatly enlarged.
