Comment:
Comments: Placed as a subgenus in Felis by McKenna and Bell (1997) who separated yagouaroundi into Felis (Herpailurus). Salles (1992), Johnson and O'Brien (1997), Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999), and Mattern and McLennan (2000) considered concolor and yagouaroundi monophyletic, with Acinonyx as the sister group
