Description
In adults of ''Dinoderus'', the 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 elytra are never more than twice as long as the pronotum. The second segment of the antenna

Pests
Some species in this genus, namely ''D. japonicus'', ''D. minutus'', ''D. ocellaris'' and ''D. brevis'' are major pests of bamboo, attacking both harvested culms and finished products. Adults enter culms via wounds or cut ends, make horizontal tunnels and deposit eggs. These hatch into larvae
