The brachiopods of the Upper Ordovician Hirnantia fauna from the Holy Cross Mountains of Poland (Góry  Świętokrzyskie) are described. The fauna, which includes one new genus (Plectothyrella) and four new species (Philhedra? stawyensis, Hirnantia? kielanae, Platymena? polonica, Plectothyrella platystrophoides), is compared with occurrences from North Wales and the English Lake District.
