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]
