Comment:
Comments: Others have used yaguaroundi Lacépède, 1809, or yagouaroundi Desmarest, 1816, however, the former is invalid and the latter is a junior synonym. Placed in Herpailurus by Weigel (1961), Hemmer (1978), and Kratochvíl (1982c). See comments under genus for its inclusion here. Reviewed by Oliveira (1998b). Synonyms allocated according to Cabrera (1957) and Oliveira (1998b)
