Abstract. We present 21 cm observations of 5в1 square degrees centered on the local Ab ell cluster 1367 obtained as part of the Arecib o Galaxy Environment Survey. This represents the first HI selected sample covering the core and the outskirts of a local cluster of galaxies. Combining the HI data with SDSS optical imaging we show that in HI selected samples follow scaling relations similar to the ones usually observed in optically selected samples. The most striking difference b etween HI and optically selected samples resides in their large scale distribution: while optical and X-ray observations trace the cluster p otential very well, at radio wavelengths there is almost no evidence of the cluster presence.

1. Intro duction
The Abell cluster 1367, due to its proximity (z0.0216) and to the fact that it is currently forming at the intersection of two filaments in the Great Wall (Cortese et al. 2004), represents an ideal target for HI blind surveys in order to study the properties of HI selected galaxies and environmental effects. For these reasons, Abell1367 is one of the region observed as a part of the Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey (AGES, Auld et al. 2006), one of the new HI blind survey carried out with the ALFA multibeam system. AGES aims to study the atomic hydrogen properties of different galactic environments to faint sensitivity limits: e.g. 6в108 M , assuming a 200 km s-1 velocity width at 92.8 Mpc, the distance of the A1367 cluster. Here we report on the early results obtained from observations of a subset of the whole AGES-A1367 region: a 5 в 1 square degree area centered on the cluster core. One hundred HI galaxies have been detected (79 new measurements and 50 new redshifts), half of which belong to the Abell1367 volume (4000< V <8000 km s-1 ).

2. Results
Comparing the properties of the HI selected galaxies with an optically selected sample extracted from SDSS-DR5 we show that the large scale distribution of galaxies is strongly wavelength dependent: in HI the cluster core almost completely disappears and HI selected galaxies are homogeneously distributed in the cluster volume (see Fig.1). The difference between the two samples is even more evident when we compare their luminosity and HI distribution (see Fig.2). Optically selected samples miss a considerable number of low luminosity, low surface brightness galaxies underestimating by almost a factor 2 the number of HI rich galaxies present in the cluster volume. On the contrary, HI samples 119

All galaxies in the two samples are shown in the b ottom panel, while blue (g - i <0.9) and red galaxies (g - i >0.9) are shown in the middle and upp er panel resp ectively.

do detect a factor 3 less bright galaxies than the optical one. These are mainly ellipticals or early type, red spirals but also a not negligible fraction of the blue sequence cluster spirals is missed. Although the spatial and number distribution of samples selected at different wavelengths are significantly different, the internal properties of galaxies seem not to be significantly wavelengths dependent. HI galaxies seem to follow the same scaling relations observed in optical and bigger galaxies are redder, have a higher surface brightness and a lower gas content than lower luminosity galaxies.
