The Polish panorpid fauna (Mecoptera: Panorpidae) consists of six species. Both the composition and distribution of the different species of this family in Poland is not sufficiently known. Particularly, there is a lack of data on this group from the area of Upper Silesia. In order to fill this gap, panorpids were collected in 2010 and 2012 from 16 sites in the area of Silesian Province. The presence of four species was recorded, the most numerous and common were Panorpa communis and P. Vulgaris. The presence of P. germanica was recorded for the first time, furthermore the presence of P. alpina was confirmed in the upland areas. The panorpid fauna requires further study, in particular it is necessary to determine the size, condition, structure and conservation status of particular populations of detected species.
