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.
