The genus was first reported from Chile in 2015 with the description of Eugnosta azapaensis, a gall-inducing species associated with Baccharis salicifolia in the northern Atacama Desert. Species in this genus are characterized by their association with host plants, with at least some species inducing galls on Asteraceae.
