Industrial relevance and applications
There is currently no industrial application of Neoanungitea.
Quarantine significance
No biocontrol agent from Neoanungitea has been identified so far. Further studies are needed.
Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications
The chemical diversity of Neoanungitea is unknown.
Diversity of the genus
Neoanungitea comprises two species known on Eucalyptus species (Myrtaceae). Neoanungitea
has been reported mainly from Victoria and New South Wales. More species of Neoanungitea
can be discovered in future studies.
