Dinoderus minutus (Fab.) is an important insect pest of dried bamboo and wooden materials. The pest seriously damages these commodities and makes them unsuitable for use. According to Noorani et al. (1985), biodeterioration of harvested canes in Malaysia is commonly due to bostrichid powder-post beetle, Dinoderus minutus and Dinoderus sp. The bamboo borer, Dinoderus sp. occurs in India, Philippines and South China (Hill 1983) and also in Bangladesh (Baksha 2000). Sen-Sarma (1977) reported that it is a serious pest of timber and bamboo in rural houses in India. The uses of bamboo are many, for example, in the building of houses, bridges, for scaffolding, making paper, furniture, weaving etc. But enormous damage is caused to dried bamboo, bamboo made commodities and wooden products due to serious attack of the bamboo borer, D. minutus. Judd (1984) described that the stalks of bamboo imported into Hamilton, Ontario fro Florida were found to be infested with adults of D. minutus moving about in galleries in the wood and reducing the stalks to a fine powder.
