What is "cavernicola"

Cavernicola is a genus of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae. They are endemic to the wild ecotopes of Panama and northern South America. Cavernicola species, as well as many other Reduviidae insects, are considered vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, a known cause of Chagas disease.

C. pilosa feeds primarily on bats, but have been reported as biting humans.
