no. 2 (IO %) in the heath, <strong>an</strong>d as no. 8 (4 %) on the grassl<strong>an</strong>d. On the grassl<strong>an</strong>d A. crin<strong>an</strong>ensis (Burrows, 1908) r<strong>an</strong>ked as no. 2 (10 %), while in the heath it only r<strong>an</strong>ked as no. 19 (I %). The different occurrence <strong>of</strong> these morphologically similar species is probably due to A. lucens preference for humid habitats (H<strong>of</strong>fmeyer 1962). The wet areas in the heath undoubtedly provide favourable conditions for this species. Both species are common <strong>an</strong>d widespread in Western Norway. Three species, Celaena haworthii (Curtis, 1829), Xestia cast<strong>an</strong>ea (Esper, 1796) <strong>an</strong>d Noctua comes (Hiibner, 1813) were taken in large numbers only in the heath. C. haworthii r<strong>an</strong>ked as no. 6 (4 %) in this locality, X. cast<strong>an</strong>ea as no. 8 (3 %) <strong>an</strong>d N. comes as no. 9 (3 %). C. haworthii is taken in bogs in most parts <strong>of</strong> Western Norway. X. cast<strong>an</strong>ea is more restricted to the coast where it is found on heath terrain. N. comes is distributed in the lowl<strong>an</strong>d all over Western Norway, but seems to be common only along the coast. Two species, Chersotis cuprea (Denis & Schiffermiiller, 1775) <strong>an</strong>d Photedes minima (Haworth, 1809) were taken in large numbers only in the traps on the grassl<strong>an</strong>d. C. cuprea r<strong>an</strong>ked as no. 10 (3%) in this locality, while P. minima r<strong>an</strong>ked as no. 12 (2 %). P. minima is common <strong>an</strong>d widespread all over Western Norway. C. cuprea is also distributed all over Western Norway, but is most common in the inl<strong>an</strong>ds. Aporophyla nigra (Haworth, 1809) <strong>an</strong>d Stilbia <strong>an</strong>omala (Haworth, 1812) are typical for the coastal areas, allthough single specimens <strong>of</strong> both species have been taken in inner Hordal<strong>an</strong>d. A. nigra r<strong>an</strong>ked as no. 4 in both localities, constituting 7 % <strong>an</strong>d 5 % <strong>of</strong> the material from the grassl<strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>d the heath respectively. S. <strong>an</strong>omala r<strong>an</strong>ked as no. 11 in the heath <strong>an</strong>d as no. 13 on the grassl<strong>an</strong>d constituting approximately 2 % <strong>of</strong> both sets <strong>of</strong> material. ~ '0 '0 '0 A M A 5 o N Fig. 6. Light trap catches <strong>of</strong> Macrolepidoptera, as per cent <strong>of</strong> whole <strong>an</strong>nual total per ten-day period, on the grassl<strong>an</strong>d at Austervagen in 1978. Flight periods The light trap catches taken on the grassl<strong>an</strong>d at Austervagen in 1978, divided in ten-day periods, are shown in Fig. 6. The frrst specimens arrived in the b<strong>eg</strong>inning <strong>of</strong> April, <strong>an</strong>d no further specimens were taken after the middle <strong>of</strong> November. Largest catches were made in early August, with a smaller peak in late April - early May. The flight periods <strong>of</strong> Geometridae species taken in more th<strong>an</strong> 100 specimens are shown in Fig. 7; the catches from the heath <strong>an</strong>d the grassl<strong>an</strong>d have been combined. Most <strong>of</strong> the species have flight periods in late summer <strong>an</strong>d early autumn. The duration <strong>of</strong> the flight periods varied from one <strong>an</strong>d a half to nearly three months. The medi<strong>an</strong> day <strong>of</strong> the flight period <strong>of</strong> the different species, i.e. the day when 50 % <strong>of</strong> the specimens had been caught, are listed in Tab. 5. For most <strong>of</strong> the species the medi<strong>an</strong> day falls in the last third <strong>of</strong> July <strong>an</strong>d the fIrst two thirds <strong>of</strong> August. I Thera juniperata had a late <strong>an</strong>d vrry short flight period, lasting from 5 October to 15 November. Pachycnemia hippocast<strong>an</strong>aria is bivoltine on Sotra. The domin<strong>an</strong>t spring generation were on the wing from 15 April to 10 June, while a few second generation specimens were caught in September <strong>an</strong>d October. Among the Noctuidae species taken in more th<strong>an</strong> 100 specimens there are two species, Cerastis rubricosa (Denis & Schiffermiiller, 1775) <strong>an</strong>d Orthosia gothica (L., 1758), which fly in the spring (Fig. 8). Both had flight periods that lasted for about two months with medi<strong>an</strong> days in the last day <strong>of</strong> April <strong>an</strong>d the fIrst days <strong>of</strong> May. Ceramica pisi (L., 1758) had a very long flight period, lasting from I0 May until 5 August, with the medi<strong>an</strong> day in the b<strong>eg</strong>inning <strong>of</strong> June. Several <strong>of</strong> the species flying during the summer, like Noctua pronuba (L., 1758), Lycophotia porphyrea, Cerapteryx graminis, Apamea monoglypha (Hufnagel, 1766) <strong>an</strong>d A. lateritia (Hufnagel, 1766) also have long flight periods lasting for more th<strong>an</strong> two <strong>an</strong>d a half month, most <strong>of</strong> them with medi<strong>an</strong> days in the b<strong>eg</strong>inning <strong>of</strong> August. The majority <strong>of</strong> the Noctuidae started to fly in late summer <strong>an</strong>d early spring, <strong>an</strong>d several <strong>of</strong> these species, like Euxoa obelisca (Denis & Schiffermiiller, 1775), Chersotis cuprea, Xestia cast<strong>an</strong>ea, X. x<strong>an</strong>thographa (Denis & Schiffermiiller, 1775), Amphipoea lucens, A. crin<strong>an</strong>ensis <strong>an</strong>d Stilbia <strong>an</strong>omala, had rather short flight periods lasting from one <strong>an</strong>d a half to two months, with medi<strong>an</strong> days in the middle <strong>of</strong>August.
