花粉甲虫Restiopria biondii gen. nov.，sp. nov.，来自南非西开普省的一种植物。本文还讨论了该属的分类地位。这个新属与任何其他已知的Meligethine没有明显的关系，尽管它与Pria Stephens 1830有一些共同的特征。已知的单一种的幼虫寄主植物是单子叶植物科Restionaceae的两个种的雄花。
The pollen beetle Restiopria biondii gen. nov., sp. nov., from Western Cape, South Africa, is described. The taxonomic position of Restiopria is discussed. The new genus is not noticeably related to any other known Meligethine, although it exhibits a few shared characters with Pria Stephens 1830. Larval host plants of the single known species are male flowers of two species of the monocot family Restionaceae.
