Remarks: The species name P. leopoliensis [with author’ remark “ mihi in litt. Lwów (w maju) ”] was used for the first time in the paper published by (Dziędzielewicz 1867: 162) and should be recognized as a nomen nudum. Later, Dziędzielewicz (1891: 49) reported the similarity of P. leopoliensis with P. communis, and opted to not describe the first species because the specimens were soured. In later contribution, Dziędzielewicz (1905: 113) added more information about ecology and distribution of P. leopoliensis in the Gorgany Mountains. Almost four decades later, Farbotko (1929b: 4) suggested the identity of P. leopoliensis and P. communis based on analysis of J. Dziędzielewicz’s publication from 1891.
In Majewski (1882, 1885) a few different species of Panorpa most probably are treated under the single species name P. communis. The record from Kamyanets-Podilskyi in Dziędzielewicz (1891) is published based on Belke (1859).
It is probable that many older records, as well as part of the material in this work from SMNH, belong to P. vulgaris (see comments under that species).
