Leopardus Guttulus
''Leopardus guttulus'', the southern tigrina or southern tiger cat, is a small wild cat species native to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Taxonomy ''Felis guttula'' was the scientific name used in 1872 by Reinhold Hensel when he described a tiger cat from the jungles of the Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil. It was long considered to be a subspecies of the oncilla (''Leopardus tigrinus''). It was recognized as a distinct species in 2013. It is closely related to Geoffroy's cat (''L. geoffroyi''), with which it reportedly interbreeds in southern Brazil. Characteristics The southern tigrina has a yellowish-ochre coat, patterned with open black rosettes. It is slightly darker than the oncilla, has a larger rosette pattern, and a slightly shorter tail. However, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between the two species by appearance alone, since more genetic variation tends to occur within each species, than between the two species. An adult southern tigrina weighs ...

Leopardus Tigrinus
The oncilla (''Leopardus tigrinus''), also known as the northern tiger cat, little spotted cat, and tigrillo, is a small spotted cat ranging from Central America to central Brazil. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, and the population is threatened by deforestation and conversion of habitat to agricultural land. In 2013, it was proposed to assign the oncilla populations in southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina to a new species: the southern tiger cat (''L. guttulus''), after it was found that it does not interbreed with the oncilla population in northeastern Brazil. Characteristics The oncilla resembles the margay (''L. wiedii'') and the ocelot (''L. pardalis''), but it is smaller, with a slender build and narrower muzzle. Oncillas are one of the smallest wild cats in South America, reaching a body length of with a long tail. While this is somewhat longer than the average domestic cat, the oncilla is generally lighter, weighing . The fur is thick and soft, ...

Leopardus Narinensis
''Leopardus narinensis'', also called the red tigrina, Nariño cat, and Galeras cat by the scientists who discovered it, is a putative species of small wild Felidae, cat in the genus ''Leopardus''. It was described in 2023, based on a single skin collected in 1989. Etymology The specific epithet ''narinensis'' refers to the Nariño Department in southern Colombia, where the skin was collected. The proposed common names "Nariño cat" and "Galeras cat" also refer to where it was found (the Galeras volcano in the Nariño Department), while "red tigrina" refers to its markedly reddish coloring. Taxonomy and phylogeny The skin was first collected in 1989 and donated to a Colombian national institute, which later transferred its biological collections to the Alexander von Humboldt Biological Resources Research Institute, where it remained classified as an ocelot skin until 2001, when Manuel Ruiz-García noticed it while searching for jaguar and puma specimens. He recognized it as being ...
