Biology:Barnardillo
Barnardillo is a genus of woodlice belonging to the family Armadillidae. In 1934 Alceste Arcangeli (it) instituted the genus Barnardillo for the species Armadillo mucidus (Budde-Lund, 1885) and others but he did not designate a type specimen. In 1998 Stefano Taiti, Pasquino Paoli, and Franco Ferrera subsequently validated this genus by naming Armadillo mucidus (Budde-Lund, 1885) the type specimen. This type specimen was collected at Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.[1][2][3] There are currently five species in this genus.[2][4]
Description

Distribution
This genus has been found in Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.[2] Some members of this genus can be found up to 2350m in elevation.[6]
