Description
Oncifelis Severtzov, 1858. Rev. Mag. Zool. Paris, ser. 2, 10:386.
TYPE SPECIES: Felis geoffroyi d'Orbigny and Gervais, 1842, by monotypy.
SYNONYMS: Dendrailurus Severtzov, 1858; Lynchailurus Severtzov, 1858; Noctifelis Severtzov, 1858; Pajeros Gray, 1867.
COMMENTS: Although there is general agreement as to the monophyletic nature of this genus, some have chosen to emphasize the distinctiveness of O. colocolo and placed it in monotypic Lynchailurus. Cabrera (1958) suggested that O. geoffroyi and O. guigna were more closely related to taxa considered here under Leopardus rather than to O. colocolo, which he placed in a separate subgenus. Hemmer (1978) also included L. tigrinus in this genus.
