SYNONYMS: <i>amazonica</i> Cabrera, 1917; <i>andina</i> Allen, 1916; <i>boliviae</i> Pocock, 1941; <i>catenata</i> H. Smith, 1827; <i>cooperi</i> Goldman, 1943; <i>elegans</i> Lesson, 1830; <i>geoffroyi</i> Rochebrune, 1895; <i>glaucula</i> Thomas, 1903; <i>ludovici</i> Lönnberg, 1925; <i>macroura</i> Wied, 1823; <i>macrura</i> Hensel, 1872; <i>mexicana</i> Saussure, 1860; <i>nicaraguae</i> J. A. Allen, 1919; <i>oaxacensis</i> Nelson and Goldman, 1931; <i>pardictis</i> Pocock, 1941; <i>pirrensis</i> Goldman, 1914; <i>salvinia</i> Pocock, 1941; <i>sanctaemartae</i> Allen, 1906; <i>tigrinoides</i> Gray, 1842; <i>vigens</i> Thomas, 1904; <i>yucatanica</i> Nelson and Goldman, 1931. COMMENTS: Placed in <i>Leopardus</i> by Weigel (1961), Hemmer (1978), and Kratochvfl (1982c). Allen (1919a) and Weigel (1961) suggested that <i>wiedii</i> (in part) may be conspecific with <i>tigrinus;</i> however, Hemmer (1978) considered differences between <i>wiedii</i> and <i>tigrinus</i> to warrant generic distinction.
