Aethiopodillo
Aethiopodillo is a genus of woodlice belonging to the family Armadillidae. This genus was first documented by Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1942 but wasn't offically designated until 1998 by Stefano Taiti, Pasquino Paoli, and Franco Ferrara. The type specimen for this species is an Aethiopodillo sulcata from Mozambique. There are currently two species in this genus.

Bethalus
Bethalus is a genus of woodlice belonging to the family Armadillidae. The type specimen for this species was originally designated as Armadillo nigrinus by Gustav Budde-Lund in 1885 but in 1909 he revised this designation to Bethalus nigrinus, creating a new genus in the process. The type specimen is believed to have been collected in South Africa. There are at least 20 species in this genus.
Barnardillo
Barnardillo is a genus of woodlice belonging to the family Armadillidae. In 1934 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. There are currently five species in this genus.
