A total of 15 species are recorded from Japan, including three new species, X. nipponensis sp. nov. X. sylvicola sp. nov. and_X. yoshimurai sp. nov. and three species, X. honorata (Cameron, 1899), X. minuta Cameron, 1905 and_X. trias Townes & Chiu, 1970, newly recorded from Japan. Host, habitat, overwintering and distribution patterns of Japanese Xanthopimpla species are discussed. Key Words Asia, biogeography, bionomics, new species, parasitoid wasp, Ryukyu Islands, taxonomy Introduction Xanthopimpla Saussure, 1892 is a large genus belonging to subfamily Pimplinae and containing 265 species from all zoogeographical regions (Yu et al. 2016). Wasps of this genus have a bright-yellow-coloured body, usually with black spots, which makes this genus one of the most easily recognisable taxa amongst the Ichneumonidae. The distribution of this genus is strongly biased toward tropi- cal or subtropical areas (Townes and Chiu 1970, Gomez et al. 2014) and it is one of the major representatives of tropical ichneumonids in Asia (Townes and Chiu 1970). Wasps of this genus are known as solitary koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopterous larvae and pupae (Tre- han and Butani 1950, Smith et al. 1993, Paull and Austin 2006) and are, therefore, potentially important natural en- emies of crop and forest pests (Momoi 1966, Yasumatsu 1967, Townes and Chiu 1970). This genus is one of the well-studied groups of tropical ichneumonids and, thus, the distributional data of each species may be useful for biogeographical discussions. Momoi (1970) reviewed the species of this genus col- lected from Ryukyu Islands and recorded eight for Japan. However, a taxonomic study of Japanese species has not been conducted. In this research, the Japanese species of this genus is reviewed and their diversity from a biogeo- graphical standpoint is discussed. Materials and methods In this study, the dried specimens deposited in the follow- ing collections were examined: AEIC = American Entomological Institute, Logan, Utah, USA; KPMNH Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History, Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan; MU Meijo University, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan; NIAES Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences, NARO, Tsukuba, Ibaragi, Japan; NSMT_ National Museum of Nature and Science, Tsukuba, Ibaragi, Japan; OMNH_ = Osaka Museum of Natural History, Osaka, Japan; SEHU — Systematic Entomology, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan; Copyright Kyohei Watanabe & Rikio Matsumoto.

A stereomicroscope (SMZ800: Nikon, Tokyo) was used for observation. Photographs (Figs 1, 2) were tak- en by digital camera (TG-4: Olympus, Tokyo) attached to the stereomicroscope. Digital images (Figs 1-6) were edited using Adobe Photoshop CC 2020. Morphological terminology follows Broad et. al. (2018). The following abbreviations are used in the de- scription: holotype (HT), segment of antennal flagellum (FL), diameter of lateral ocellus (OD), ocello-ocular line (OOL), postocellar line (POL) and metasomal tergite (T). The following abbreviations are used for material data: female (F), male (M), Malaise trap (MT) and yellow pan trap (YPT). As the descriptions of the known species were already given by Townes and Chiu (1970) in detail, we, thus, omitted their description in this paper. Molecular analysis There was some variation in the black maculation on the body amongst specimens identified as X. clavata Krieger, 1914. To clarify the variability amongst spe- cies, molecular phylogenetic analysis was conducted for X. clavata and some closely-related species, based on the partial sequences of the mitochondrial gene, cyto- chrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the nuclear gene, 28S rDNA (28S). All specimens used for DNA analysis were collected adults and preserved in 99.5% ethanol. Total genomic DNA was extracted from the right middle legs using a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, The Netherlands) according to the manufacturer’s protocol for animal tissues. Voucher specimens and their extract- ed genomic DNA were deposited in the Osaka Museum of Natural History. The DNA samples were stored in a freezer (at -40 °C) and the voucher specimens were dried and mounted. The partial sequences of one mitochondri- al gene, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and one nuclear gene, 28S rDNA (28S), were amplified using the primers designed by Folmer et al. (1994) for COI and Campbell et al. (1993) for the 28S D2 region. These primer sets amplified approximately 640 and 580 bp products, respectively. An overview of the DNA samples is given in Table 1. Polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) were conducted in 30 ul final volumes using ExTaq Hot Start (Takara Bio Inc., Japan). The PCR programme for COI comprised initial denaturation for 5 min at 94-95 °C followed by 35—40 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 15 s, annealing at 46 °C for 15 s, extension at 72 °C for 15 s and a final Table 1.

The reaction conditions for the 28S rRNA fragment were the same, except the annealing temperature was modified to 50 °C and 57 °C and the extension time was modified to 30 s and 60 s, respectively. The PCR products were purified using II- lustra Exo-ProStar (GE Healthcare, USA). The purified PCR products were mixed with primers and sent to the CDM Center (Takara Bio Inc.) and run on an ABI 3730x1 DNA Analyzer (Applied Biosystems). All sequences gen- erated in this study were submitted to INSD under ac- cession numbers LC632431—LC632459 and LC633946— LC633973, as summarised in Table 1. The forward and reverse sequences were checked, assembled and edited using Seaview (Gouy et al. 2010). Alignment of the protein-coding COI gene was straight- forward and performed manually. The 28S rRNA was aligned according to the secondary structure models (Gillespie et al. 2005). All sequence alignments were concatenated using MacClade 4.08a (Maddison and Maddison 2005). The molecular dataset was analysed us- ing Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian approach- es. For Maximum Likelihood (ML) analyses, MEGA X (Kumar et al. 2002) with the Tamura 3-parameter model and a neighbour-joining (NJ) starting tree was used. For Bayesian analysis, the COI characters were separated into three partitions (first, second and third codon positions). The best-fit model was estimated independently for each partition using hLRTs as implemented in the model test (Nylander 2004), resulting in the 28S (GTR+I) and COI first and second positions (GTR+G) and the COI third position (HK Y+G). Bayesian analysis was conducted using MrBayes (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck 2003) with two runs of four chains each for 2,000,000 generations, and trees were sampled every 1,000 generations. The first 50% of the trees were discarded as burn-in and a 50% ma- jority consensus tree from the remaining trees was used to calculate posterior probabilities. Results In total, 15 species of Xanthopimpla were identified in Japan (Table 2), whereas no X. brullei Krieger, 1899 (including a voucher specimen used in Schulz (1906)) were found. Twelve species were re-described and three of them, X. honorata (Cameron, 1899), X. minuta Cam- eron, 1905 and_X. trias Townes & Chiu, 1970, are newly recorded from Japan. The other three are new to sci- 271 ence. Although the molecular analysis did not resolve the phylogenetic relationships amongst the analysed species (XY. clavata and closely-related species) because of the low bootstrap values and posterior probabilities, several clades were clearly recognised (Fig. 7A, B). Xanthopimpla trias, X. naenia Morley, 1913 and_X. nip- ponensis sp. nov. were recovered as distinct clades. The individuals that were treated as X. clavata were found to comprise two distinct clades with high bootstrap values in ML and posterior probabilities in Bayesian Inference (except those in the 28S analysis that were low for X. clavata). Due to slight, but stable differenc- es in body maculation (see description), we considered these as distinct species and described one of them as_X. yoshimurai sp. nov.

Comparative diagnosis. This species belongs to the regina Species group sensu Townes and Chiu (1970). This species is very similar to_X. konowi and can be distinguished by two character states in combination: black spots on T IV each with about 10 punctures; pre-apical bristles on hind tibia 1 to 4, slender, scattered from apex towards the middle of tibia. Distribution. Japan (Okinawa Is.?). Outside Japan, this species has been recorded from Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines (Yu et al. 2016). Bionomics. Unknown in Japan. Remarks. Although Schulz (1906) recorded this spe- cies from Japan, based on a single specimen collected from Nago, Okinawa Island, no additional material was available to us. Townes and Chiu (1970) pointed out that this species occurs in the Greater Sunda Islands. Momoi (1970) also noted that “This species is unknown to me. No new material from Ryukyus is available”. Thus, the distribution record of this species from Japan may be based on misidentification. mA). & ees _ +e eit Se 273 Xanthopimpla clavata Krieger, 1914 Figs 1A, 3A, 4A, 5A Xanthopimpla clavata Krieger, 1914: 40, 91; Uchida 1928: 66; Townes and Chiu 1970: 188; Momoi 1970: 334; Watanabe 2011: 16.

Japan (Honshu, Izuoshima Is., Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima Is., Yakushima Is., Amamioshima Is., Kakeroma Is., Tokunoshima Is., Okinawa Is., Miyako Is., Ishigaki Is., Taketomi Is., Iriomote Is. and Yonagunit Is. ). Outside Japan, this species has been recorded from Chi- na, Malaysia and Taiwan (Yu et al. 2016). Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected in all months, except for November. In Honshu, winter is passed in the stage of adult (Fig. 8A). The wintering adults were resting under the leaf of broad-leaved, evergreen trees, such as Castanopsis cuspidata, Ilex pedunculosa and Camellia japonica. Sometimes, multiple individuals were observed under the leaves of a single tree or even on a single leaf. All wintering specimens observed were fe- male exclusively. This species 1s one of the common spe- cies of Japanese Xanthopimpla and adults are frequently 247 found flying in or along the forest edge including some- what open habitat. Although the host of this species is un- known, a female was observed to lay eggs into experimen- tally supplied cocoons of Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758) and its offspring emerged successfully. One male was reared from an unidentified small lepidopterous pupa. Remarks. This is the first record of this species from Nakanoshima Is., Kakeroma Is., Tokunoshima Is., Take- tomi Is. and Yonaguni Is. Both Momoi (1970) (published on 20 July 1970) and Townes and Chiu (1970) (published in 1970, but without data for month and day) synony- mised_X. minomensis under X. clavata and, in this study, we accept the former treatment, based on the ICZN 21.3.

Outside Japan, this species has been record- ed from Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, New Caledonia, Pakistan, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Tatwan, Truk Islands, Vanuatu and Vietnam (Yu et al. 2016). Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected in January, March, May and from October to December. Townes and Chiu (1970) noted that the greatest number of this species were collected from November to February (the cooler months) in Taiwan and this trend is also recognisable in Japan. In Iriomote Is., the first author collected this spe- cies in the meadows around paddy fields. The host is un- known in Japan whereas some lepidopterous pests have been recorded as hosts in Taiwan (Sonan 1944). Remarks. In Japan, distribution of this species is re- stricted in Yaeyama Islands of Ryukyus. Xanthopimpla honorata (Cameron, 1899) Comparative diagnosis. This species belongs to the oc- cidentalis species group sensu Townes and Chiu (1970). This species can be distinguished from other species of this species group by the following combination of char- acter states: mesoscutum with three rounded, transverse continuous black spots (Fig. 1C); propodeum with area superomedia open posteriorly (Fig. 4C); hind tibia with 4—7 pre-apical bristles (Fig. 5C); T I, HI, V and VII each with two black spots (Fig. 1C); ovipositor sheath 0.8—0.9 x length of hind tibia. Remarks. This is the first record of this species from Japan. This species is divided into three subspecies, X. honorata honorata (Cameron, 1899), X. atriculinata Chao, 1997 and X. honorata munda Krieger, 1915.

Outside Japan, this species has been recorded 279 from China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Tai- wan, Thailand, Togo and Vietnam (Yu et al. 2016). Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected in March, May, June, July and October. In Iriomote Is., the first au- thor collected this species in the forest edge. Dendrolimus spectabilis (Butler, 1877) (Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae), is recorded as a host of this species in Japan (Kashima 1961). Remarks. At least part of the records of “X. iaponica” and “X. japonica” (misspelling of iaponica) may be due to misidentification of this species and some of the rest may be of X. pedator. We could not examine the voucher specimens of Iwata (1960), Kashima (1961) and Momoi (1970). Re-identification of these specimens is an issue for future study.

In Japan, adults were collected from June to November. Host is unknown. Remarks. This is the first record of this species from Japan. Although this species is divided into five subspe- cies, X. minuta minuta Cameron, 1905, .X. minuta aurang- abadensis Patil & Nikam, 1995, X. minuta lita Townes & Chiu, 1970, X. minuta lotipes Townes & Chiu, 1970 and X. minuta quadrula Chao, 1997, Pham et al. (2011) commented that “all of these subspecies could readily be synonymised...”. The characteristics of the Japanese specimens match well with the description of X. minuta minuta sensu Townes and Chiu (1970), but we refrained from considering subspecies here. Xanthopimpla modesta (Smith, 1860) Comparative diagnosis. This species belongs to the stemmator species group sensu Townes and Chiu (1970). This species can be distinguished from other species of the group by the following combination of character states: dorsal part of occiput with black area (Fig. 3C); mesoscutum without black mark in front of scutellum (Fig. 1F) or, if present, black mark on median lobe with deep notch anteriorly; hind tibia with 12—18 pre-apical bristles (Fig. SF); propodeum and T I without black marks (Fig. 4F); ovipositor sheath 1.1—1.2 x length of hind tibia. Remarks. This species is divided into two subspecies, X. modesta modesta (Smith, 1860) and_X. modesta micro- cephala Krieger, 1914. All Japanese materials are identi- fied as the former.

Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Yakushima Is., Amamioshima Is., Tokunoshima Is., Oki- nawa Is., Ishigaki Is. and Iriomote Is.). Outside Japan, this species has been recorded from China, India, Malay- sia, Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam (Yu et al. 2016). 281 Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected from April to November. In Tokunoshima Is., the first author col- lected this species along the edge of forest. Matsumoto and Sugimoto (1998) recorded a host, Nipponopsyche fuscescens Yazaki, 1926 (Lepidoptera, Psychidae), in Ja- pan. In this study, we record the second host of this spe- cies, Manatha sp. (Lepidoptera, Psychidae). Remarks. This is the first record of this species from Ishigaki Is. and Iriomote Is. Townes and Chiu (1970) de- scribed the differences in body colouration between ma- terials from Japan and other areas. We recognised these differences as intraspecific variations and concluded that Japanese population should be treated as_X. naenia.

Japan (Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu). Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected in Febru- ary, May to October and December. In Honshu, winter is passed in the stage of adult (Fig. 8C). The wintering habit of this species is similar to that of X. clavata and these species are sometimes found wintering sympatri- cally, adults resting under the leaf of broad-leaved, ever- green trees, such as Castanopsis cuspidata, Ilex pedun- culosa and Camellia japonica. All wintering specimens observed were female exclusively. Host is unknown. Etymology. The specific name is from Nippon (= Japan). dez.pensoft.net 284 Kyohei Watanabe & Rikio Matsumoto: Revision of Xanthopimpla from Japan 1.0mm (A, C, F-H, J-L, N) 1.0 mm (B, E, M), 2.0 mm(D, |) Figure 4.

Japan (Kyushu, Nakanoshima Is., Ama- mioshima Is., Tokunoshima Is., Okinawa Is., Miyako Is. and Ishigaki Is.). Outside Japan, this species has been recorded from Bangladesh, China, France, India, Indo- nesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Singa- pore, Taiwan and Vietnam (Yu et al. 2016). Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected from April to August and October. Kusigemati (1976) re- corded a host, Malacosoma neustria testaceum (Mot- schulsky, 1861) (Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae) from Ja- pan. Townes and Chiu (1970) also recorded two hosts, 285 Dendrolimus punctatus (Walker, 1855) and D. spectabilis (Butler, 1877) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), based on the materials from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Remarks. This is the first record of this species from Kyushu, Kuchinoerabujima Is, Takarajima Is., Tokunoshima Is. and Miyako Is. We examined the vouch- er specimens of “X. japonica” used in Uchida (1956) and Kusigemati (1976) and confirmed that all of them are identified as this species.

Japan (Shikoku, Nakanoshima Is., Ama- mioshima Is., Tokunoshima Is., Okinoerabu Is., Yoron Is., Okinawa Is., Miyako Is., Ishigaki Is., Iriomote Is. and Yonaguni Is.). Outside Japan, this species has been recorded from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, Guam, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Mariana Is., Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tai- wan, Thailand, Togo and Vietnam (Yu et al. 2016). Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected from March to October. In Iriomote Is., the first author collected this species in the open forests around crop fields of sugar cane, the forest edge and the forest path in sunlight. Kusi- gemati (1987) recorded a host, Omphisa anastomosalis dez.pensoft.net (Guenée, 1854) (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) in Japan. Par- nara guttata guttata (Bremer & Grey, 1852) is recorded as a host of this species in Japan, based on materials from Tokunoshima Is. A female emerged from an immature in- dividual of Pyralidae on Rhizophora mucronata. Outside Japan, many pests of crop and paddy fields have been re- corded (e.g. Yasumatsu 1967). Remarks. This is the first record of this species from Nakanoshima Is., Yoron Is. and Yonagun1i Is. Xanthopimpla stemmator (Thunberg, 1822) Figs 2E, 3E, 4K, 5L Ichneumon stemmator Thunberg, 1822: 262.

Outside Japan, this species has been re- corded from China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Mauritius, Pakistan, Philippines, Reunion, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tatwan, Thailand and Vietnam (Yu et al. 2016). Bionomics. In Japan, adults were collected in March, May to November. In Iriomote Is., the first author col- lected this species in the open forests around crop fields of sugar cane. Uchida (1928) recorded a host, Scirpopha- ga nivella (Fabricius, 1794) (Lepidoptera, Crambidae), based on material(s) from Japan and/or Taiwan. Outside Japan, many pests of crop and paddy fields have been re- corded (e.g. Townes and Chiu 1970). Remarks. This is the first record of this species from Hateruma Is. In Japan, distribution of this species is re- stricted to Yaeyama Islands of Ryukyus.

In Japan, adults were collected in Janu- ary, February, June to September and December. Winter is passed in the stage of adult (Fig. 8B). The wintering adults were resting under the leaf of broad-leaved, ever- dez.pensoft.net Kyohei Watanabe & Rikio Matsumoto: Revision of Xanthopimpla from Japan green trees, such as Castanopsis cuspidata, Ilex peduncu- losa and Camellia japonica as X. clavata, X. nipponensis and_X. trias. This species is often found with _X. clavata. Sometimes multiple individuals composed of these two species were observed under the leaves of a single tree or even on a single leaf. All wintering specimens observed were female exclusively. Etymology. The specific name is after Hiroyuki Yoshimura (Sanda City), who collected part of the para- types and first noticed the differences in body maculation from X. clavata. Remarks. Although this species is morphologically very similar to X. clavata and these two species can be distinguished from each other by mainly body coloura- tion, the difference in colouration is quite stable. Fur- thermore, the DNA sequences of COI and 28S rRNA are considerably different from each other and both species formed distinct clades with high supporting values in phylogenetic analysis, respectively (Fig. 7). For these reasons, we concluded this is a distinct species. Discussion Host and habitat of Japanese Xanthopimpla The host records of Japanese Xanthopimpla remain poor- ly documented. According to Yasumatsu (1967), Townes and Chiu (1970) and Matsumoto and Sugimoto (1998), the following three patterns of host preference are rec- ognised: 1) Parasitoids of stem borers Xanthopimpla flavolineata, X. modesta modesta, X. punc- tata and _X. stemmator belong to this category. All these species have a long ovipositor for the genus to attack the lepidopterous borers in plant stems. They are, thus, im- portant or potentially important natural enemies of crop pests. In Japan, X. flavolineata, X. punctata and X. stem- mator are collected in somewhat open areas (e.g. mead- ows, open forest and crop fields). 2) Parasitoids of large moths with exposed habitats Species of the regina group belong to this category, which parasitises the larvae and pupae of larger moths, such as Saturniidae and Lasiocampidae, in cocoons in somewhat exposed habitats. These species are rather large and have a robust body and long ovipositor. In Japan, X. kono- wi and X. pedator are collected in forest areas (e.g. Mt. Omoto-dake and Shiramizu of Ishigakijima Island) where their hosts are abundant. 3) Parasitoids of bagworm moths Xanthopimpla naenia seems to be a specialist parasitoid of bagworms (Psychidae).

Wintering female of Japanese Xanthopimpla spp — A. X. clavata; B. X. yoshimurai sp. nov.; C. X. nipponensis sp. nov.; D. X. trias. Manatha sp. were recorded as the hosts of this species in Japan. Bagworms carry unique portable cases that function as defensive shelters. Possibly because of the difficulty in being utilized as a host, they are attacked by specialised parasitoids (e.g. Sericopimpla Kriechbaumer, 1895 and Paraphylax Forster, 1869). However, how a few species of Xanthopimpla became parasitic on psychids is unclear. The hosts of other species of Japanese Xanthopimpla are almost unknown. Given that most species are found in forest habitats, they possibly use hosts that are abun- dant in the forest, such as microlepidopterans, in leaf rolls and cocoons. Xanthopimpla clavata was observed to lay eggs in cocoons of Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758), which were experimentally exposed to the wasp in a cage. The offspring emerged successfully. Another male was reared from an unidentified small lepidopterous pupa collected in the field. These observations suggest that this species may utilie a wide range of lepidopterans as hosts. Overwintering females of Xanthopimpla in the Palaearctic area of Japan The genus Xanthopimpla generally thrives in the trop- ics and subtropics. Data from collected specimens in the dez.pensoft.net Ryukyus indicate that the adults are active almost all year round and that many species are possibly multivoltine originally. However, their activity is restricted by the low temperature of winter. To the best of our knowledge, in Honshu, Shikoku and northern Kyushu, which have a winter season, most of the species, including X. clavata, X. nipponensis, X. yoshimurai and X. trias, pass the win- ter in the adult stage. The wintering adults rest under the leaves of broad-leaved evergreen trees (Fig. 8), such as Quercus glauca, Castanopsis cuspidata, Ilex pedunculo- sa and Camellia japonica. Sometimes, multiple individ- uals belonging to two or three species cluster under the leaves of a single tree or even on a single leaf. All wintering individuals were female. This is similar to other ichneumonids overwintering as adults under ev- ergreen leaves, such as Zatypota maculata (Matsumoto & Takasuka, 2010) (Matsumoto and Takasuka 2010). Males are found in the active season and so, overwintered fe- males and their daughters lay fertilised and unfertilised eges, of which, the latter grow up as males; however, males never seem to live long enough to overwinter. Some ichneumonids have been found wintering under the bark of a dead tree. In this case, wasps are rather safe because they are settled in a narrow space and will not fall to the ground.

It thus is possible that they have not adapted to the severely cold winter in northern Japan. This may explain why none of the species of the genus Xanthopimpla are distributed in northern Japan. Distribution patterns of Japanese Xanthopimpla Most Japanese Xanthopimpla species are also distributed in Southeast Asian countries, whereas a few species are unknown beyond Japan and provisionally considered as Japanese endemics. The biogeographical border of the Palaearctic and Oriental Regions is called the Tokara Gap (Watase line), which lies between Yakushima Island and the Tokara Islands (the north-eastern islands of Amamioshima Island). Thus, the faunas of Yakushima Island and Amamioshima Island are usually very differ- ent from each other. However, the range of distribution of any Japanese Xanthopimpla is not limited by this line, except for that of X. honorata honorata. A total of sev- en species, X. clavata, X. minuta, X. naenia, X. pedator, X. punctata, X. sylvicola and_X. trias, are distributed both in the Palearctic and Oriental parts of Japan beyond the Gap (Table 2). The reason for this pattern is still unclear, but these data possibly indicate the natural dispersal of the group (e.g. flying by themselves or carried away by a typhoon).
