T. volkovitshi could be recognized from other Tephritis species by the combination of its banded wing pattern (with a regular subbasal crossband from the costal cell to anal lobe and oblique crossband from pterostigma through veins r–m and dm–cu) ( Fig. 66 ), small size (wing length c. 3.5 mm) and densely grey microtrichose abdomen, abdominal tergites and oviscape mostly white setulose.
