Fig. 2. Trap model. (Copied from Bogenschiitz 1980). TESTING THE METHOD IN 1980 In 1980 the traps were tested in 10 localities (tab. I and fig. 1) from two ofwhich the Pine beauty had been previously recorded. (In both table 1 and 2, region and EIS grid no. are in accordance with Strand (I 943) and Heath (I 977), respectively). The number of traps in each locality varied between three and five (tab. 1). The distance between traps was approximately 100 meters. The traps were usually hung on branches of trees, I.5- 2 meters above the ground. P. jlammea was trapped in 8 of the 10 localities. The results are listed in tab. 1 which also shows the trapping periods. As opposed to the negative results from the • Fiskvik locality in Ytre Rendal one would have expected the moth to be caught at the locality in Lardal according to the formerly known distribution of the Pine beauty. However, the negative catches in Lardal can fle explained by the fact that the atea was stocked by mainly spruce forest. Because the traps proved to be effective (tab. I) and since the trapping method is simple it was decided to organize a more extensive survey in 1981. SURVEY 1981 a) Distribution and control of traps Traps were placed in 29 localities in natural pine forests (tab. 2 and fig. 1). Three of the localities were the same ones as in 1980. With a few exceptions (tab. 2) the number of traps was five in each locality, the distance between traps being approximately 100 meters. The traps were set out when the daily maximum temperature reached 14 - 15°C even if the ground was partly snowcovered. The first trap catches were collected one week after the first moth was observed in the trap. The sticky cardboard sheet with the moths was then replaced with a new sheet, which remained in the trap for the next two weeks. Then the traps were taken down and the catches sent to the institute for identification. - In some localities this time-schedule was deviated from. However, the rubber capsule dispensers are effective for at least 6 weeks (Bogenschutz 1981), and therefore the traps have functioned at least for a part of the flight period. b) Results Tab. 2 shows the number of Pine beauty males caught in the localities during the various trapping periods. - It should also be mentioned that in most localities the traps caught considerable numbers of two other noctuids, Papestra biren (Goeze) = (Mamestra glauca (Hubner» and Ort .'lOsia gothica (LJ Largest number of P. biren in 5 traps was 58 from Hitra, while accordingly from Grue in 1980 the number was 77. Two specimens of Orthosia miniosa (Denis & Schiffermuller) were trapped at Trom0Y, the southernmost locality in 1980. In 1981, 8 specimens of Anarta myrtilli (L.) were trapped at Kvernesmoen in Ytre Rendal. COMMENTS The trapping records show that P. jlammea in Norway is more extensively distributed than was formerly known. Previously the northernmost record was from Kvanne in M0re and Romsdal province (Mehl I.e.), while now the moth has been shown to exist at least 1 1/ 2 degree latitude further north, near Namsos in Nord-Tf0ndelag province. It should be noted that the records were negative at the northernmost trapping sites, Saltdal and MaIselv. Also in East-Norway the distribution was extended northward from Elverum to Kvernesmoen in Ytre Rendal. However, at Kvernesmoen only one specimen was trapped, and at Fiskvik and Engerdalssetra in the adjacent districts the records were negative. This indicates that there is a considerable reduction in abundance between Elverum and Ytre Rendal/Engerdal, possibly due to the increasing altitudes towards the latter localities (tab. 2). The survey did not aim at elucidating details on the flight periods of P. jlammea. However, 107
