Cavaticovelia

Speovelia aaa Gagne & Howarth 1975 Cavaticovelia is a monotypic genus of insects in the order Hemiptera, the true bugs, containing the single species Cavaticovelia aaa.

The insect's specific name, aaa, is derived from ʻaʻaʻā, the Hawaiian word for "lava tube".

This species is usually found associated with cave slimes growing on lava tube walls.

As with other Hawaiian lava tube endemic arthropods, the bulk of this species' habitat is expected to be a wide inaccessible network of lava cooling cracks filled with detritus and tree root systems that permeates the lava rock in the Puna and Kau districts.

[3] Since these crevice networks are not accessible to humans, C. aaa is only ever seen in the lava tubes themselves.
