Material comprising 2141 specimens was collected between 1991 and 1996 in four forest associations (mixed fir forest, marshy pine forest, mountain beech forest, linden-oak-hornbeam forest) in canopies of various tree species: Abies alba, Pinus sylvestris, Fagus sylvatica, Carpinus betulus,Tilia sp.and Quercus sp. A total of 42 species of Neuropterida were found in the Park. They belong to the following families: Raphidiidae (3), Inocelliidae (1), Coniopterygidae (4), Osmylidae (1), Hemerobiidae (17) and Chrysopidae (16). In the total material, the most abundant species were Conwentzia pineticola, Coniopteryxpygmaea, Cunctochrysa albolineata, Sympherobius pellucidus, Parasemidalis fuscipennis, Hemerobius contumax and Dichochrysa abdominalis. The neuropterofauna of the Świętokrzyski National Park owes its unique character to the presence of many rare species that occur only locally in Poland, e.g. Puncha ratzeburgi, Wesmaelius ravus, Hemerobius contumax, Sympherobius pellucidus, Nothochrysa fulviceps, N. capitata, Nineta pallida, Chrysopa viridana, Dichochrysa flavifrons, Dichochrysa abdominalis and Peyerimhoffina gracilis.}, type={Text}, title={Raphidioptera and Neuroptera of the canopy layer in forests of the Swietokrzyski National Park / Wiesława Czechowska and Krzysztof Werstak ; Museum and Institute of Zoology PAS.}, keywords={tree canopies, rare species, Poland, Holy Cross National Park, Świętokrzyski National Park, Insecta, insects, net-winged insects, neuropterans, Neuroptera, Raphidioptera, snakeflies}, }
