Discussion:
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.
