The research was conducted between 1994 and 2004 on the area of the Krakow- Czestochowa Upland. Insects were collected using the floatation and baited trap methods. Based on the data from the Catalogue of Polish Fauna, it was determined that 63 species of coprofagous Scarabaeoidea occurred in the Upland between 1866 and 1983. The current research confirmed the presence of 36 species of coprofagous beetles. Of the 63 species found in the past, 26 species were not confirmed as present. It turned out that 13 species of this group were found between 1866 and 1910, but their presence in this area was not confirmed until 2004. The disappearance of many species applies mainly to taxa with higher habitat requirements.
