This work reports the ocurrence of Dinoderus minutus (Bostrichidae), known as the “bamboo drill”, in the northern state of Mato Grosso, Brasil. The beetles were collected in forest plantations of Eucalyptus urograndis in 2016. Collection was performed using ethanol traps Car valho 47 (adapted). This report highlights the need for further studies, as D. minutus can cause significant economic damage by building galleries inside tree trunks.
