Makilingia costalis Baker, 1924: 69, Fig. 14

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage slender, arcuate through most of length, apex extended slightly beyond pygofer lobe. Subgenital plate with sclerotized basal section short, distal section relatively long with unpigmented area limited to basolateral half, evenly curved in lateral view, dorsal callosity bilobed. Style with preapical lobe rectangular, apex evenly curved and tapered, without preapical heel. Aedeagus with preatrium slightly shorter than shaft, narrow and strongly curved dorsad in lateral view, forming obtuse angle with shaft; shaft broadened from base to apex, without anterior projections, apex obliquely rounded; in posterior view with preatrium constricted, atrium with pair of short rounded lobes, shaft ovoid, apex rounded with slight median emargination.

Material examined. Holotype male labeled "Surigao/ Mindanao/ Baker; 20438; Holotype; JNZ_AA0769; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / costalis Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513295" (USNM).

Notes. This species was described based on a male specimen deposited in the USNM collection. According to information provided by Baker (1924) this species resembles M. frontalis in coloration but differs in its slightly larger size and the presence of shagreen texture between the punctures of the frontoclypeus. It is one of two known species of the genus that has the dorsum of the head uniformly black and the forewing costal margin pale but without pale markings elsewhere on the wing.
