Biology. Chen & Yin (2003) collected the species (as Dysides spineus Chen & Yin 2003) from Parashorea Kurz (Dipterocarpaceae) wood imported to Shenzhen, Guandong from Malaysia. The boring activities of larvae cause damage to Dipterocarpus C.F. Gaertn. spp. (Dipterocarpaceae) (Beeson & Bhatia 1937). This species is also recorded from Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A.Juss.) Müll.Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) and Shorea obtusa Wall. (Dipterocarpaceae) in Thailand (Beaver et al. 2011).
