Data is given on occurrence of Lymantria dispar in Poland, and on infested forest areas, over the period 1945/1994. Outbreaks occurred in 1952/1956, 1966/1971, 1980/1986 and 1992/1994, which corresponded with other outbreaks of this pest in Central Europe. A breeding area of L. dispar has been recognized in marshes and forests in north‐eastern Poland, adjoining Belarus. Information is also provided on the pest status of six other Lymantriidae: Dasychira pudibunda, Euproctis chrysorrhoea, E. similis, Leucoma salicis, Lymantria monacha and Orgyia antiqua. A list of pathogens and parasitoids recorded in larvae and pupae of L. dispar in Poland is given.
