Pardofelis is a genus of the cat family Felidae.[2] This genus is defined as including one species native to Southeast Asia: the marbled cat.[3] Two other species, formerly classified to this genus, now belong to the genus Catopuma.
The word pardofelis is composed of the Latin words pardus (pard), and felis (cat) in allusion to the spots of the type species, the marbled cat.[4]
