Published records: Anheliv, Chernihivska Region , Dzvenyhorod, Halychyna, Kamyanets-Podilskyi, Lviv [Holoko], Potorytsya ( Belke 1859; Majewski 1882, 1885; Wierzejski 1883; Dziędzielewicz 1891, 1898, 1918; Martynova 1957).

Reviewed material: SMNH collection: 1 ♂, E21.01.01.02/01: “Poturzyca Lom. 8-9. wielki las.”; “ Panorpa cognata Rambur, 1842 det. WK”, [?, Potorytsya l]; 1 ♀, E21.01.01.02/02: “Hołosko wielkie 30.6.1867.”; “ Panorpa cognata Rambur, 1842 det. WK”, [30.6.1867, Holosko]; 1 ♂, E21.01.01.02/03: “Hołosko”; “ Panorpa cognata Rambur, 1842 det. WK”, [?, Holosko].

Remarks: Majewski (1882, 1885) indicated a questionable record of “ Panorpa fasciata F. (?)” previously published by Belke (1859) together with other representatives of the genus Panorpa . Dziędzielewicz (1891) also reported “ P.? fasciata Fab. ” as a questionable species based on G. Belke’s information, and suggested that the record belongs to P. cognata . At present, the name P. fasciata is a synonym of P. americana Swederus , which is restricted to the U.S.A. ( Penny & Byers 1979). The specimens from SMNH collection were mentioned in Dziędzielewicz (1918: 39).
