Treatment

Felis pardus Linnaeus, 1758

Felis pardus Linnaeus, 1758: 41 View in CoL .

COMMON NAME. — Leopard.

CURRENT NAME. — Panthera pardus ( Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL .

See Wozencraft (2005: 547) and Sunquist & Sunquist (2009: 133).

COLLECTOR/S. — Donated to François Péron.

COLLECTION LOCALITY. — No data. Three specimens are referred to (in addition to a specimen of Felis melas referred to below) by Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1804c: 172) (See Jangoux et al. 2010: 276). One of these has been provided to the Baudin expedition at Île de France ( Mauritius) by General Charles-Mathieu-Isidore Decaen ( Péron 1804a) under the name of “Onca” which refers to the similar looking Jaguar Panthera onca ( Linnaeus, 1758: 42) . Commander Pierre-Bernard Milius (1987: 57) also appears to have been offered two further animals by Jan Willem Janssens, Governor-General of the Cape Colony in South Africa, where they were referred to as “Once” (or Tiger by the settlers) (See Girard 1856: 96; Milius 1987: 57; Jangoux et al. 2010: 276; Hambly 2013: 277).

COLLECTION DATE. — Before 24 January 1804.

SPECIMEN NUMBER/S. — No specimen identified in MNHN collection.

COMMENTS. — Three animals collected and taken alive back to France on board Le Géographe under the name Felis pardalis (synonym of Leopardus pardalis ) which appears to be in error for Felis pardus as the former species only occurs in South America (É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1804c: 172). One should exercise some caution as to whether these animals are different to the Felis melas referred to below.

ILLUSTRATIONS. — No data.
