Recent photoelectric observations made at Catania Observatory show a high occurrence of short-lived faint flares on the Hyades member II Tau (H II 2411). Its activity level turns out to be higher than for UV Cet-type stars of equal absolute luminosity.
II Tau could represent a transition prototype between UV Cet-type flare star in the solar neighbourhood and cluster ones.
The importance of coordinated photoelectric patrol of properly selected flare stars in clusters of different age is emphasized.
