Makilingia panayensis Baker, 1924: 66 , Fig. 11

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage relatively slender and short, curved dorsad, extended to but not beyond apex of lobe. Subgenital plate relatively long and narrow, evenly curved dorsad, distal section mostly unpigmented except narrow dark band along ventromedial and apical margin, dorsal callosity digitiform. Style without preapical lobe, preapical heel small but distinctly angulate. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium nearly as long as shaft, evenly curved, shaft expanded distally, anterior margin straight, posterior margin broadly rounded, atrial processes extended horizontally nearly to posterior margin of shaft; in ventral view with preatrium constricted medially, atrium broadly triangular, lateral flanges depressed, shaft slightly tapered distally with paired narrow lateral flanges extended along basal 2/3, apex rounded and shallowly bifid. Female abdominal sternite VII with pair of short rounded lateral lobes and slightly longer acute median process.

Female. Sternite VII twice as wide as long, posterior margin truncate with pair of short V-shaped notches laterad of median triangular projection. Second valvulae with dorsal margin evenly arcuate through most of length, teeth more prominent and long near middle than at base and apex.

Material examined. Holotype female labeled “N.W. / Panay / Baker; 20440; HOLOTYPE / probably / (over) / the only det. / specmn. in / Baker’s coll’n / D.A.Y.; Makilingia / panayensis / Baker; JNZ AA_0051; USNMENT / 01513402” ( USNM); Other material. 3 males and 2 females, PHILIPPINES: Negros Occidental, Murcia, Mt. Canlaon 500–700m, 1–3 August 2010, A. Mohagan ( INHS).

Notes. This species was described based on a single female specimen. Recent collecting on Mindanao yielded males and females conspecific with Baker's holotype. The coloration of the face is sexually dimorphic, with the male having white pigmentation extended well ventrad of the antennal ledges on the frontoclypeus and the female with white pigment restricted to the area above the antennal ledges.
