Makilingia pruinosa Baker, 1914: 412 , Fig. 2

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage very long and slender, nearly straight, section extended beyond pygofer lobe nearly as long as lobe. Subgenital plate with basal section bearing large, rounded lateral flange; distal lobe compressed and tapered, relatively short and weakly pigmented; dorsal callosity large, rounded. Style without preapical lobe, preapical heel present. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium well developed, nearly as long as shaft, curved dorsad; shaft irregularly rugose and somewhat amorphous, in lateral view relatively narrow and nearly straight with apex slightly bent anterodorsad; in posterior view, preatrium parallel-sided, shaft broadly triangular, constricted near base, tapered distally with pair of rounded lateral lobes.

Female. Sternite VII less than twice as wide as long; posterior margin with narrow concavity near middle. Second valvulae with dorsal margin triarcuate with broad basal and distal arcs separated by short medial arc, teeth prominent, oblique, becoming more close-set distally.

Material examined. Lectotype male, here designated, labeled “ Mt. Makiling / Luzon, Baker; Cotype No. / U.S. N.M.; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / pruinosa Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513405”. One paralectotype male with first two labels same as lectotype, additionally labeled with paralectotype identification label and “ Makilingia / pruinosa / Baker; USNMENT / 01513406”. Other material. 1 male labeled " Imugin / N. Viscaya / Baker "; 3 males, 5 female labeled " Baguio / Benguet / Baker "; 3 males, 1 female labeled “ Dapitan / Mindanao / Baker "; 1 male labeled “ Mt. Makiling / Luzon , Baker ”; 2 females labeled “ Mt. Banahao / P.I., Baker ”; other material with USNMENT barcode labels numbered 01513421-435 ( USNM).

Notes. This species is unique in having the apex of the anteclypeus emarginate. A male cotype from Baker's original type series is here designated as lectotype to fix the identity of the species.
