GENUS Catopuma
| Author: | Severtzov, 1858. | | Citation: | Rev. Mag. Zool. Paris, ser. 2, 10: 387. | | Type Species: | Felis moormensis Hodgson, 1831 (= Felis temminckii Vigors and Horsfield, 1827), by monotypy. | | Comments: | Catopuma is the sister group to Profelis aurata according to Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999); however, Mattern and McLennan (2000) placed it next to more typical Felis. McKenna and Bell (1997) placed it in Felis (Profelis). Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999) and Mattern and McLennan (2000) demonstrated that C. badia and C. temmincki are sister taxa. |
