Other distribution. Cosmopolitan (Borowski 2007) but mainly occurs in arid and pan-tropical areas.

Biology. This species is considered an important pest of bamboo and seasoned woods in many parts of Southeast Asia ( Liu & Geis 2019). It is clearly polyphagous ( Beeson & Bhatia 1937; Liu & Geis 2019). Hua (2002) records the species from Chinese herbal medicine.
