Gravid females of Simulium ornatum comprised 98% of 1,994 simuliids trapped on test strips on the Renaa river in the Rendalen region, Norway. Two sets of sticky strips, six coloured and four neutral, were exposed over the black background of the river bed. The flies landed more frequently on green and yellow than on purple, blue, orange, and red strips. They landed also more frequently on white and light-grey than on dark-grey and black strips. The relative attractance among the coloured strips varied inversely with the intensity ratio 325-450 mf' over 450 700 mIJ. and 450-500 mf' over 500-550 mf'. Among the neutral strips the relative attractance varied directly with reflectance and inversely with the intensity ratio 325-450 m,u over 450-700 mIJ., but only up to the 27% relative reflectance level. c'. I. Golini & D. M. Davies, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Previous workers have reported that several simuliid species oviposit on vegetation trailing MATERIALS AND METHODS on the surface of streams and rivers (Jobbins The general habitat in the Rendalen region, Pomeroy 1916, Wu 1931, Smart 1934, Zahar Norway (61°45'N, 11°38'E) was described 1951, Davies & Peterson 1956, Muirhead previously (Golini 1970, Davies et al. 1971). Thomson 1956, L. Davies 1957, Carlsson Oviposition experiments were made on the 1962). Additional studies have shown that Renaa river, 1 km upstream from the Rena during oviposition females of Simulium vere dalen seter. The eastern and western slopes cundum Stone & Jamnback and Simulium vit of the valley are drained by numerous shal tatum Zetterstedt oviposit on certain coloured low streams having an average width of 50 substrates more frequently than on others cm. During late spring and early summer these (Golini 1970, Golini & Davies 1975). During tributaries carry much water from snow-melt a cooperative research project on simuliids and rain into the Renaa river. In early sum in the Rendalen region of Norway (Eide et al. mer this river has an average width and 1969), simuliid eggs were found amassed on depth of about 4 m and 50 cm respectively submerged leaves of willow (Salix spp.) along along its swifter segments. The oviposition the banks of the Renaa river. Experiments site was located approximately 45 m upstream were subsequently made to determine (1) what from the remnants of an old wooden dam. species of simuliids were ovipositing on these The first 40 m of the stream just above the leaves and (2) whether the behavioural re dam consisted of a lacuna about 5 m wide sponse of these simuliids to coloured ovi and 1 m deep, which was flanked by marshy position substrates was similar to that ob terrain abounding in aquatic vegetation, served with other simuliid species. mainly 7 ypha latifolia L. and Sparganium 90 V.
