Discussion: Weigel (1961), Hemmer (1978), Groves (1982 a), Kratochvil (1982 c), Collier and O'Brien (1985), and Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999), considered bengalensis , planiceps , iriomotenisis, rubiginosus , and viverrinus a monophyletic group. McKenna and Bell (1997) included bengalensis , iriomotensis , rubiginosus , and viverrinus . Salles (1992), Johnson and O'Brien (1997), and Mattern and McLennan (2000) separated rubiginosus , although there is no agreement nor consensus as to its correct placement. It is provisionally left in Prionailurus here, although perhaps it would be better to consider it as incertae sedis.
