Makilingia suturalis Melichar View in CoL
( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 O–P, 3B–F)
Makilingia suturalis Melichar, 1923: 120 View in CoL
Melichar's description (translated from the original German): Crown black, without pale markings; forewing black with narrow elongated oval gray-yellow apical spot extended from scutellum to claval apex, narrowing to yellow line in middle, sometimes divided into two spots. Underside black, antennae and legs pale yellow. Scutellum small, broader than long, apex not swollen behind suture. 5–5.5 mm
Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage curved slightly dorsad, slightly broadened preapically, extended slightly beyond lobe. Subgenital plate in lateral view evenly curved dorsad, distal section long and robust. Style with preapical lobe obtuse, heel absent. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium as long as shaft, evenly curved dorsad, shaft forming obtuse angle with preatrium, broader than preatrium, curved dorsad, apex obliquely truncate, preatrium expanded anterodorsad.
Note. Our interpretation of this species is based on unpublished notes and drawings by D.A. Young, who examined Melichar's type in the Moravian Museum and prepared drawings of the male genitalia ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ). It is the only known species that lacks pale markings on the head and forewing costal margin but has the forewing commissure pale. In the structure of the male genitalia, this species is most similar to M. similima and M. viraktamathi but the latter are distinctly different in coloration.
