SATYRIN AE. 4] 
KARANASA LEECHII (Plate 101, figs. 4, 4a, 9 2). 
Male. Similar to K. Hubner’, somewhat larger. Upperside of a paler fulvous, 
the ends of the median veinlets ochreous-speckled, the outer borders uniformly dark- 
coloured. Forewing with the basal area, including the cell, cinerescent ochreous- 
brown ; with a well-defined blackish broad imner-discal glandular patch extending 
throughout its length to the inner edge of the fulvous band, the patch clothed with 
broad serrate-tipt pale scales and numerous long bulbous androconia with tasselled- 
tip, these latter beg narrower than in K. Hubneri ; the sinuous submarginal edge 
of the fulyous band more acutely defined ; within the band is a subapical blind black 
spot, a very small spot also being present between the lower median veinlets, and 
below the upper spot are sometimes two or three minute black speckles. Hindwing 
with a somewhat broader fulvous band, the outer edge of the band more acutely 
sinuous ; the ends of the median veinlets not ochreous. Underside. Forewing paler 
than upperside, but somewhat clouded in the middle, the basal and cell strige obso- 
lete, the subapical black blind-spot prominent, the lower median small spot some- 
times absent. Hindwing paler than in K. Hubneri, the strige less, and more 
speckled throughout with whitish-cinereous edgings to the markings; with similar 
disposed subbasal, median, and submarginal sinuous lines, but the two latter are 
more acutely pointed, and the subbasal line is excurved within the cell (not angled as 
in Hubneri); veins white lined. 
Female. Upperside paler fulvous than in K. Hubnevi, the costa and outer 
borders, and the basal areas also paler. Forewing with the edges of the discal band 
less defined; the subapical and lower black spot as in male. Hindwing with the 
fulyous band comparatively broader, its outer sinuous-edge being slightly nearer the 
exterior margin of the wing. Underside. Both wings as in male.
