We provide a record of Elachistocleis helianneae from the municipality of Macapa, the first from the state of Amapa, northern Brazil. This is also the species’ most eastern occurrence and significantly extends the known distribution by 350 km from the closest previously known occurrence in the municipality of Belem, state of Para; the new record is ca. 1,600 km from this species’ type locality at Humaita, state of Amazonas.
