Type species . Pinocchio barauna sp. n. Etymology . The genus is named for Carlo Collodi’s fictional character whose famous nose reminds of the projecting clypeus in the type species; gender masculine. Diagnosis/Description . See diagnosis and description of single known species below. Notes . The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae ( Eberle et al. 2018 ) placed the Brazilian Pinocchio as sister to the two Old World genera Ninetis Simon, 1890 + Magana gen. n. (“Gen.n. Om6”). Morphologically, Pinocchio barauna differs from known Old World Ninetinae in several characters: modified clypeus, large male palpal femur, complex tip of procursus, and complex bulbal process. These morphological differences as well as the geographic separation from the putative sister group are here taken to justify the creation of a new genus.
