( Panorpa alpina Ramb. ) [sic!]: Dziędzielewicz 1918: 39 [distribution, ecology; Aulops in generic rank]; Farbotko 1929a: 3 [distribution, ecology] Taxonomic remarks: P. pseudoalpina was described by Nagler (1970) from Romania , and no records were published from other countries. Ward (1979) synonymised Panorpa variabilis Brauer, 1857 , Panorpa antiporum Nagler, 1968 , Panorpa pseudoalpina Nagler, 1970 , Panorpa pura Klapálek 1906 , Panorpa susteri Nagler 1970 , and Panorpa plitvicensis Lauterbach, 1972 with P. alpina . This synonymy was not accepted by Willmann (2013) who treated P. pseudalpina as a subspecies of P. alpina . In this paper, we are following Ward’s results, as no scientific paper with contradictory opinion was published. On the other hand, WK found in SMNH collection several specimens which are in agreement with Nagler’s description of P. pseudoalpina . As the authors have insufficient material to study the variability in P. pseudoalpina and P. alpina in Ukraine , a conclusion regarding the identity of the specimens presented here cannot be made. The records are kept separate from the P. alpina records for other experts who may wish to carry out comparative studies.

Remarks: Majewski (1885) reported this species based on citations of previous papers published by Dziędzielewicz (1867 , 1877 , 1883 ), Nowicki (1864 , 1865 ) and Wierzejski (1883) . This species, as well as other representatives of the genus Panorpa (e.g. P. communis , P. cognata and P. germanica ), was also reported from the Western Carpathians by Dziędzielewicz (1911) . Mocsáry (1875: 177) recorded P. alpina from Humenné [ orig . Homonna] and Vihorlat [current territory of Slovakia ], close to the border of Ukraine .
