wood-boring beetle
I imagine it's generically some "drilling" species beetle, es decir un escarabajo xilófago.

Woodboring Beetle
I thought that this is probably what makes the most sense, especially since I saw a webpage that apparently had a plague of them.
Hope this helps.
The first page is where I understood "barrenero", and it was only a step to go from drilling/boring to drilling/boring beetle.
