Discussion: Placed in Leopardus by Weigel (1961), Hemmer (1978), and Kratochvíl (1982 c). Allen (1919 b) and Weigel (1961) suggested that wiedii (in part) may be conspecific with tigrinus ; however, Hemmer (1978) considered differences between wiedii and tigrinus to warrant generic distinction. Synonyms allocated according to Pocock (1941 d), Cabrera (1957), Hall (1981), and Oliveira (1998 a).
