( Figs 2 M–N, 7F–J)

Makilingia surigaoensis Baker, 1924: 66 , Fig. 10

Male genitalia. Pygofer ventral appendage absent. Subgenital plate curved evenly dorsad, distal section weakly pigmented dorsolaterally; dorsal callosity relatively large and oblique. Style with preapical lobe very small, preapical heel absent. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium slightly shorter than shaft, evenly curved dorsad; shaft robust, curved dorsad, with weak lateral anterodorsaly at apex; in posterior view with preatrium broader than shaft and nearly quadrate, shaft slightly constricted at base, atrial processes very short and broad.

Female unknown.

Material examined. Lectotype male (here designated), labeled "Surigao / Mindanao / Baker; Cotype No. / U.S. N.M; 20441; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / surigaoensis Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513411". 2 male and 1 female paralectotypes with first two labels same as lectotype, all with paralectotype identification labels, 1 male additionally labeled “JNZ_AA0071; USNMENT / 01513413”, 1 male additionally labeled “ Makilingia / surigaoensis / Baker; USNMENT / 01513414”, 1 female additionally labeled “ 30-5-73 F; USNMENT / 01513412” ( USNM).

Notes. This species was described based on an unknown number of male and female specimens deposited in the USNM collection. A male cotype is here designated as lectotype to fix the identity of the species. Our concept of the species is based on information provided by Baker (1924). This species resembles M. lineata in the coloration of the head but differs in having the wedge-shaped black marking on the crown broader and the forewing clavus mostly black.
