Notes

Aptesis nigrocincta is specialised on sawfly hosts, for example, the apple sawfly Hoplocampa testudinea (Klug, 1816) . This host association is more exceptional within hibernating Ichneumonidae , but it is possible that the diapause is facultative here. However, the species has been found in a wide variety of hibernacula and countries, with a slight preference for hibernation in vegetation, notably grass tussocks.

Status: Confirmed.
