Host plants
Pinus tabulaeformis, Pinus armandi, Picea crassifolia Kom. (Pinaceae).
Distribution

Biology
The mature larva of Aptesis grandis forms a cocoon outside the body of the Neodiprion huizeensis larva and inside the cocoon of the host. Of 231 adults of Aptesis grandis that emerged from cocoons of Neodiprion huizeensis, the female to male ratio was 1.2: 1. The average parasitism rate of Neodiprion huizeensis by Aptesis grandis was 3.8%. Adults of Aptesis grandis emerged between 20th February to 9th March under laboratory conditions.
