Comments:Placed in Leopardus by Weigel (1961), Hemmer (1978), and Kratochvíl (1982c). Allen (1919b) and Weigel (1961) suggested that wiedii (in part) may be conspecific with tigrinus; however, Hemmer (1978) considered differences between wiedii and tigrinus to warrant generic distinction. Synonyms allocated according to Pocock (1941d), Cabrera (1957), Hall (1981), and Oliveira (1998a).
