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.[1] However, this name turned out to be a junior homonym that had been used before, for the harvestman genus Pinocchio (now considered a synonym of Bresslauius). Therefore, the genus name was amended in 2022 to Pinoquio, which is the Portuguese spelling of the name of Collodi's famous character.[2] This genus has only been found in Brazil.[3]
