Tephritis is a genus of flies. It contains around 170 described species, making it the sixth largest genus in the family Tephritidae. [10] Many more undescribed species are known from specimen collections. [11] Tephritis occur throughout much of the world, but most are Palearctic. [10] They can be found in a wide range of climate types, from hot semidesert to tundra. [12] Most species inhabit the inflorescences of plants from several tribes in the family Asteraceae, and a few species cause galls to form. [10] [13]
Tephritis can be distinguished from other fruit flies of the Tephritinae by the arrangement of setae on their bodies, among other characters. [14] [15]
