Makilingia sibuyanensis Baker, 1924: 62 , Fig. 3

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage slightly sinuate and nearly parallel sided through most of length, extended well beyond lobe. Subgenital plate relatively long, evenly curved dorsad, distal section weakly pigmented medially, dorsal callosity relatively short and tall. Style with preapical lobe obtusely angulate, apex robust and distinctly rugose, without preapical heel. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium bent at right angle near midlength; shaft robust, tapered and strongly curved anterodorsad; in posterior view with preatrium evenly broadened from base, atrial processes broad and short, shaft relatively slender and evenly tapered with slight apical notch.

Female. Sternite VII approximately twice as wide as long, posterior margin convex with deep M-shaped median emargination. Second valvulae with dorsal margin somewhat irregularly arcuate, teeth numerous, close set, and prominent, nearly subequal in size.

Material examined. Lectotype male, here designated, labeled “ Island / Sibuyan / Baker; 20439; Cotype No. / U.S. N.M.; JNZ_AA0061; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / sibuyanensis Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513403”. Paralectotype female, first two labels same as lectotype, additionally labeled “JNZ_AA0143; PARALECTOTYPE / Makilingia / sibuyanensis Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513404”. (USNM).

Notes. This species was described based on one male and one female specimen deposited in the USNM collection. A male cotype is here designated as lectotype to fix the identity of the species. This species resembles M. intermedia but differs in having only a narrow yellow longitudinal stripe along the forewing commissure rather than a pair of large transcommissural yellow spots.
