A record of Phaneroptera falcata is made from the northeastern Poland, extending the known distribution in this country for about 300 km to the north and linking it with a newly discovered occurrence in southern Lithuania. The northern margin of the species' range in eastern Central Europe and in East Europe is briefly reviewed. Phaneroptera falcata (Poda, 1761) belongs to those fau- nal elements which underwent a rapid northward-direct- ed range extension on the northwestern edge of their dis- tribution areas, particularly in NW Germany (Northrhine- Westphalia) and the Benelux countries (Detzel 1998). A similar trend was observed in Thuringia (Kohler, 2010), and even the federal states of Lower Saxony and Bran- denburg have already been reached (Grein 2000, 2007, Landeck et al. 2005). In the eastern part of its Central Eu- ropean range, however, P. falcata was believed, despite some expansional trend in the Czech Republic (Kocarek et al. 2008), to be restricted to the southern half of Poland, as indicated by the sketch maps in Detzel (1998) and Maas et al. (2002). However, a recent record in southern- most Lithuania (Lazdijai) close to the Polish northeastern border (Ivinskis & Rimsaite 2008) suggests a much more northern distribution also in Poland. Southern Poland (Galicia) had already been mentioned in the classic work by Harz (1957) as that part of this coun- try which is inhabited by P. falcata. Even much earlier, Zacher (1917) had pointed on a doubtful voucher speci- men of the Wroclaw (formerly Breslau) Museum from "Schle
