Popis: A graph G is said to be pancyclic if G contains cycles of lengths from 3 to |V(G)|. For a positive integer i, we use $$Z_i$$ to denote the graph obtained by identifying an endpoint of the path $$P_{i+1}$$ with a vertex of a triangle. In this paper, we show that every 4-connected claw-free $$Z_8$$ -free graph is either pancyclic or is the line graph of the Petersen graph. This implies that every 4-connected claw-free $$Z_6$$ -free graph is pancyclic, and every 5-connected claw-free $$Z_8$$ -free graph is pancyclic.
