'''''Dinoderus''''' is a genus of bamboo powderpost beetles in the family [[Biology:Bostrichidae|Bostrichidae]]. There are more than 20 described species in ''Dinoderus''.<ref name=itis/><ref name=gbif/><ref name=buglink/><ref name=Zahradník2014/>

== Description ==
In adults of ''Dinoderus'', the [[Biology:Prothorax|pronotum]] is hood-like and conceals the head from above (a feature shared with other Dinoderinae). The body ranges from 2.2 to 4.5 mm in length. The pronotum has posterolateral carina, though these are weakly developed in some species. The [[Biology:Elytron|elytra]] are never more than twice as long as the pronotum. The second segment of the [[Biology:Antenna|antenna]] is less than half as long as the first segment.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Walker |first=K. |date=August 19, 2021 |title=Dinoderus minutus (Fabricius, 1775) |url=https://www.padil.gov.au/pests-and-diseases/pest/135571 |access-date=February 1, 2023}}</ref>

== Pests ==
Some species in this genus, namely ''D. japonicus'', ''D. minutus'', ''D. ocellaris'' and ''D. brevis'' are major pests of [[Biology:Bamboo|bamboo]], attacking both harvested culms and finished products. Adults enter culms via wounds or cut ends, make horizontal tunnels and deposit [[Biology:Egg|eggs]]. These hatch into [[Biology:Larva|larvae]], which bore longitudinally in culms, making criss-crossing tunnels.<ref name=":0" />

They also attack wood and stored foods,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Buchelos |first=C.Th. |date=2017-06-02 |title=Dinoderus minutus and D. breνis (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae): Two Exotic Wood Borers Introduced to Greece |journal=Entomologia Hellenica |url=https://ejournals.epublishing.ekt.gr/index.php/entsoc/article/view/13987 |volume=9 |pages=13 |doi=10.12681/eh.13987 |issn=2459-3885|doi-access=free }}</ref> such as [[Biology:Yam (vegetable)|yam]] chips<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Loko |first1=Yêyinou Laura Estelle |last2=Toffa |first2=Joelle |last3=Bada |first3=Baptista |last4=Dassou |first4=Gbèblonoudo Anicet |last5=Zanzana |first5=Karimou |last6=Gavoedo |first6=Dieudonné |last7=Adikpeto |first7=Josky |last8=Tamo |first8=Manuele |date=2022 |title=Potential of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana to control Dinoderus porcellus (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae) infesting yam chips |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1226861522000188 |journal=Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology |language=en |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=101885 |doi=10.1016/j.aspen.2022.101885|s2cid=246509233 }}</ref> and [[Biology:Cassava|cassava]] chips.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Borgemeister |first1=Christian |last2=Schäfer |first2=Kerstin |last3=Goergen |first3=Georg |last4=Awande |first4=Symphorien |last5=Setamou |first5=Mamoudou |last6=Poehling |first6=Hans-Michael |last7=Scholz |first7=Dagmar |date=1999-09-01 |title=Host-Finding Behavior of Dinoderus bifoveolatus (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), an Important Pest of Stored Cassava: the Role of Plant Volatiles and Odors of Conspecifics |url=https://academic.oup.com/aesa/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/aesa/92.5.766 |journal=Annals of the Entomological Society of America |language=en |volume=92 |issue=5 |pages=766–771 |doi=10.1093/aesa/92.5.766 |issn=1938-2901}}</ref>
