Makilingia tettigonoides Baker, 1924: 60 , Fig. 1

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage slender, nearly straight, extended only slightly beyond pygofer lobe, slightly sinuate near base and apex. Subgenital plate very short and broad, basal section very broad and well sclerotized, distal lobes very short, narrow and weakly sclerotized, dorsal callosity long and narrow, transverse. Style without preapical lobe, preapical heel well developed, apex with distinct transverse rugae. Aedeagus with preatrium very short, in lateral view with shaft relatively long and slender, tapered, slightly curved through most of length then more sharply curved anterodorsad distally, atrial processes extended dorsad; in posterior view with atrium narrowly triangular, shaft constricted near base, bulbous distally, apex rounded with shallow median emargination.

Female. Sternite VII approximately half as long as broad; posterior margin truncate with very slight median lobe. Second valvula blade broadly biarcuate doraslly, teeth short, conical and widely spaced basally, more closely set distally.

Material examined. Lectotype male, here designated, labeled " Baguio / Benguet / Baker ; Cotype No / U.S. N.M.; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / tettigonoides Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513415". 4 male and 8 female paralectotypes, same data; 1 male paralectotype labeled “Imugin / N. Viscaya / Baker; Cotype No./ U.S. N.M”; 4 male and 6 female paralectotypes, labeled “Dapitan / Mindanao / Baker; Cotype No. / U.S. N.M.”; all labeled with paralectotype identification labels and with USNMENT barcode labels numbered 0 1513206 thru 208, -210, -216 thru -219, -224, -225, -227, -229, -231 thru -233, -235, -236, -239, -241, -242 thru - 244, and -416 ( USNM).

Notes. This species is readily recognized by its relatively large size and mostly yellow coloration. A lectotype from Baker's cotype series is here designated to fix the identity of the species.
