Fauna norv. Ser. B. 30, 81-83.'.In the Dovre mountains near Kongsvoll, Oppdal County, province of S. Tmndelag, 433males and 421 females of Piophilajlava (Zetterstedt, 1838) were caught in Malaise traps during1980 and 1981. Highest numbers occurred in a trap in the subalpine birch belt havinggrassy areas nearby. Some catches were also made above the tree line in the low alpine zone.The flight period extends July, August, September and early October. Tendency to an upstreamflight in males is discussed. The sex ratio was 50.7% males and 49.7% females. Theknown distribution of P. jlava in Norway is given.Uta Greve, University of Bergen, Zoological Museum, Museplass 3.
