Eutinobothris pilosellus
Eutinobothris pilosellus is a bat-associated cimicid bug formerly classified in the genus Cimex. Fossil remains from the Paisley Five Mile Point Caves in Oregon, dating to 5,100–11,000 years ago, represent the oldest known specimens of the genus Cimex/Eutinobothris. Unlike Cimex lectularius, this species has not been documented as a human parasite. The species remains extant and continues to parasitize bats in western North America.
