Neofelis: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Placed in Pantherinae by Hemmer (1978) and Weigel (1961). Placed in Neofelinae by Kratochvíl (1982c). Pocock (1917a), Weigel (1961), Collier and O'Brien (1985), Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999), and Mattern and McLennan (2000) considered Neofelis either as the most primitive member of the Pantherinae, or as the first outgroup. Placed in Felinae by McKenna and Bell (1997). Considered a synonym of Pardofelis by Corbet and Hill (1992)
