Pantherinae
The Pantherinae are the subfamily of the Felidae family that includes the genera Panthera, Uncia and Neofelis.[1]
The divergence of Pantherinae from Felinae has been estimated to be between six and ten million years ago.[2] DNA analysis suggests the snow leopard Uncia uncia is basal to the entire Pantherinae and should be renamed Panthera uncia. There is also evidence of distinct markers for the mitochondrial genome for Felidae.[3][4]
Another DNA-based study has suggested the branching order was Panthera tigris first, followed by P. onca, P. leo, and the last two sister species: P. pardus and P. uncia.[5]
Classification [edit]
The Pantherinae comprise:[1]
