A new species of the genus Namlika M. Omelko et N. Omelko, 2019, Namlika sinevi sp. n., is described from Luzon Island, the Philippines. Based on external morphology and genital structures, the new species is most closely related to N. aculeativalva M. Omelko et N. Omelko, 2022 and N. orbiculativalva M. Omelko et N. Omelko, 2022 from Borneo. In the male genitalia structure, the new species is more similar to N. aculeativalva. These species share a similar structure of the aedeagus, but differ clearly in the cucullus structure: in N. aculeativalva, the cucullus has an elongate, spiniform apex, whereas in N. sinevi sp. n. the apex of the cucullus is rounded. In the female genitalia of the new species, the signa bear two horn-like processes, whereas in N. aculeativalva the signum has a single process.
