In the southwest of the Paraná State, there is a great concentration of basic pegmatites hosted in lava flows of the Paraná Igneous Province. Despite several recent detailed studies, there is a need to understand the characteristics and formation processes of these pegmatites, with a regional correlation study. Petrographic and geochemical data from previous works were compiled in a database. Along with crystal sizes 5 to 20 times larger than the basalt host, pegmatites have a mineral association very similar to the basalts, with plagioclase, augite, and opaque minerals as the main mineral phases. In the pegmatites, these minerals occur in the form of phenocrysts and microphenocrysts together with microlites derived from the devitrification of the matrix. The pegmatites have skeletal crystals, fan-like plumose augite, symplectite intergrowth, and a vitreous mesostasis, evidencing a rapid cooling. On geochemical grounds, the pegmatites are more evolved rocks, formed by fractionation labradorite, augite, Fe-Ti oxides, and apatite. With the help of principal component analysis and multielement diagrams, it was possible to define six groups of geochemically similar and spatially close pegmatites. All the pegmatites studied are hosted in Type 1 flows (low SiO2, Zr, TiO2, and P2O5), especially in Type 1 Central-North flows. Lava flows of this type are commonly pahoehoe, essential for the formation of pegmatites, while flows of other types tend to have a higher occurrence of rubbly pahoehoe or a’a’ flows, which could explain the lack of occurrences discovered in spills of these types.
