Hyväksytty nimi,

Placed in Prionailurus by Pocock (1917a), Weigel (1961), Hemmer (1978), Kratochvíl (1982c), and Groves (1982a). Herrington (1986), Salles (1992), Johnson and O'Brien (1997), and Mattern and McLennan (2000) all considered rubiginosus distant from other Prionailurus, although there is little agreement where it should be placed.
