For Böttger-Schnack (1999, p.109) this species is closely related to T. dentipes and T. elongata, from which it can be distinguished by the different form of the genital double-somite; other differences are found in the size and ornamentation of P5, length of seta VI on caudal ramus, and the ornamentation of the labrum.
For Cho & al. (2013, p.31) females of T. giesbrechti from the Pacific are similar to the typical T. giesbrechti Böttger-Schnack (1999), originally described from the Red Sea, with regard to almost all morphometric characters including the endopodal spine lengths on P4, which have been found to be of relevance for separating sibling species within this subgroup of Triconia. Slight morphometric differences between the two forms appear to be present in 1- the proportional spine length of the outer subdistal spine on P2 enp-3 not reaching as far as the insertion of the outer distal spine in Pacific specimens, but reaching this point in those from the Red Sea, and 2- the relative length of antennary seta F, being somewhat shorter than seta D and about 1/3 longer than seta G in the Pacific specimens, whereas seta F is about as long as seta D and twice the length of G in the typical form. However, these small morphometric differences were not regarded as sufficient for establishing a new species for the Pacific form.
Males of T. giesbrechti are described from the equatorial Pacific for the first time. They are identified on the basis of the conspicuous surface ornamentation of the exoskeleton, showing numerous deep pits as in the female, as well as on the proportional spine lengths of the outer basal setae and the two exopodal setae on P5.
