Uvarovistia is a genus of Palaearctic bush crickets in the tribe Pholidopterini, confirmed by Maran in 1953.[2] Species have been recorded from Cyprus, Turkey through to Afganhistan (but the distribution may be incomplete).[3] The genus is named after Boris Uvarov, who originally identified what became the type species.
