Comment:
Comments: Placed as a subgenus of Felis by McKenna and Bell (1997). There is considerable controversy with the relationship of Profelis to other cats. Some follow Pocock (1917a) and unite it with Catopuma (Bininda-Emonds et al., 1999; Collier and O'Brien, 1985; Herrington, 1986; Weigel, 1961). Others consider Profelis closely related to Caracal (Johnson and O'Brien, 1997; Mattern and McLennan, 2000)
