Karanisia is an extinct genus of strepsirrhine primate and is represented by two species, K. clarki and K. arenula. Originally considered a crown lorisid, more comprehensive phylogenetic analyses suggest it is a more basal to living strepsirrhines, either as a stem lorisid or stem lemuroid. In 2010 a second species, K. arenula, was described in the journal Nature from Late Middle Eocene rocks in Libya.
