Pantherinae Pocock 1917 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 20: 332.

Synonyms: Neofelinae Kretzoi 1929 ; Neofelina Kalandadze and Rautian 1992 ; Pantherini Kalandadze 1992 .

Genera: 3 genera with 6 species:

Genus Neofelis Gray 1867 (1 species with 4 subspecies)

Genus Panthera Oken 1816 (4 species with 36 subspecies)

Genus Uncia Gray 1854 (1 species)

Discussion: Pocock's (1917 a) original classification for this subfamily placed Neofelis in the Felinae . Most recent studies have considered these taxa as a monophyletic group ( Bininda-Emonds et al., 1999; Hemmer, 1978; Herrington, 1986; Johnson and O'Brien, 1997; Mattern and McLennan, 2000; Salles, 1992; Weigel, 1961). Janczewski et al. (1995) argued that separation of Neofelis and Uncia made Panthera paraphytletic.
