A genus of large blood-feeding insects known as kissing bugs, which can transmit Chagas disease.
From Greek 'konos' (cone) + 'rhinos' (nose), referring to the insect's prominent, cone-shaped snout or proboscis used for feeding.
These insects got the nickname 'kissing bugs' because they bite people around the lips at night—absolutely terrifying when you learn they can transmit a parasite that causes lifelong disease.
