Material examined. Holotype and paratypes. BRAZIL, PARÁ, Parque Estadual da Serra dos Martírios- Andorinhas , São Geraldo do Araguaia, Araguaia River, 6º13'21.6" 48ºS 27'53.2"W, 238m alt, 03.v.2022 ; Rivera-Pérez, JM col., 5 male imagos ( UFVB)

Distribution. BRAZIL (Pará).

Comments. Paramaka froehlichi was recently described based on male imagos from Pará.The species resembles P. convexa in several aspects but can be distinguished by the brown coloration of wing membranes, the absence of a distal band on the femora, and the shape and orientation of the styliger medial projection (which is broad and not dorsally curved).
