Pinoquio is a monotypic genus of South American cellar spiders containing the single species, Pinoquio barauna. It was first described with the name Pinocchio by B. A. Huber & L. S. Carvalho in 2019, after Pinocchio, whose famous nose reminded the authors of the projecting clypeus in P. barauna. [2] . However, this name turned out to be a junior homonym that had been used before, for the harvestman genus Pinocchio Mello-Leitão, 1940 (now considered a synonym of Bresslauius Mello-Leitão, 1935). Therefore, the genus name was amended in 2022 to Pinoquio, which is the Portuguese spelling of the name of Collodi's famous character. [3] This genus has only been found in Brazil. [1]
