Discussion:
A comparison of four recent phylogenetic analyses of the non-pantherine cats shows little consensus at branch points other than those that might be recognized as genera. For this reason all non-pantherine cats are tentatively grouped together in the
Felinae
. Synonyms allocated according to
McKenna and Bell (1997)
