Kaltenbach (1971) described this species as follows, in German language: "Nun kommt aber in der Umgebung von Pretoria eine zweite, mit wahlbergi Stal sicher nicht identische, aber nahe verwandte, mesoptere bis brachyptere Art vor, die hochstwahrscheinlich bereits Kirby bekannt war und seine Art stehen Revision fast ausschlieflich auf das Material des British Museum grudete, gehesen hat. Im Text bezeichnet Uvarov die ihm vorliegenden, maculosa "Exemplare als zu wahlbergi Stal,, certainly very close, but clearly distinct on shorter elytra longer ovipositor and smaller absolute size". Die Angaben Walkers, vor allem die errechenbare Elytren large, sprechen viel eher fur wahlbergi variabilis, als fur die zweite Pretoria-Art, die im British Museum unter maculosa Walker eingeordnet war. Auch die von Uvarov veroffentlichten maβe und maβverhaltnisse treffen auf das mir vorliegende Material dieser mit wahlbergi stellenweise sympatrisch vorkommenden Art nicht zu, liegen aber innerhalb der Variationsbreite von wahlbergi variabilis. uvarov hat offenbar nicht bemerkt, daβ das ihm vorliegende .. maculosa. " Material zwei verschiedene Arten enthielt. Die von ihm verkannte Art ist neu und wird hier als Clonia uvarovi beschrieben". The following measurements extracted from Kaltenbach (1972): Measurements (in mm): Length of body: Male 45.0-52.0, Female 47.2-56.6; length of pronotum: Male 7.5-8.5, Female 7.8-9.8; length of ovipositor: Female 23.5-28.0.

Unknown.

Type locality: Africa, southern Africa, Gauteng, North West Province.

Uvarov's Clonia is endemic to the Highveld region of South Africa (Bazelet & Naskrecki 2014).

This species is found in Gauteng and North West Provinces (Bazelet & Naskrecki 2014).

Katydids are small-bodied insects that are adapted for fast movement (Rentz 2010).

Herbivore - Folivore (leaf-eating)

Katydids feed on leaves, fruits, seeds and flowers. They are also specialised to feed on nectar and pollen. Herbivorous species feed on a wide variety of grasses and foliage of shrubs and trees. Many species are opportunistic and feed on any food source available. Some even feed on the dead animals. It is common to find a katydid feeding on a roadkill of their own kind or other insects. Head structures usually indicate the feeding habits of these insects, with rounded heads as characteristic for leaf-eaters. The slanted heads either crack the seeds or eat tough fruits or chew on wood. Others with projecting mouthparts are flower feeders (Rentz 2010).

Reproduction in katydids is facilitated by communication. Usually the male produces a calling song heard by the receptive female who comes to the source of the song. Female katydids are reported to be choosy about which males to mate with by selecting the heaviest and fittest males. The male transfers the spermatophore which contains the sperm package to the female. With the spermatophore, the male also provides a nuptial meal (gooey white portion called spermatophylax) which is then eaten by the female. This is nourishment for the mother and eggs. As such the male has contributed to the development of the offspring. As the female eats, the sperm move into the spermatheca, which is the internal structure near the tip of the abdomen. As the eggs are laid, they pass through the spermatheca and are fertilised (Rentz 2010).
