 The name Leopardus Gray was apparently first used by him in a paper 

 entitled "Descriptions of some new genera and fifty unrecorded species 

 of Mammalia" (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist, Vol. X, Dec, 1842, pp. 255- 

 267), in describing four new species of cats, two of which [Leopardus 

 griseus and L. pictus) were from Central America, and two [L. ellioti, and 

 L. horsfieldi) from India. There is nothing in this conection to indicate 

 that the genus Leopardus was new, as is the case with ten other genera 

 described in the same paper. A few months later (List Spec. Mamm. in 

 Brit. Mus., 1843, pp. 40-44) he employed the name to cover a group of 

 twenty-four species, the first of which was Felis leopardus Schreber, and 

 this, bearing the same name as the genus, becomes, by rules widely 

 accepted, the type of the genus Leopardus. In subsequent papers 

 (mainly in 1867), he greatly restricted the genus by transferring from it 

 nearly all of the species, except the Felis leopardus group, to other genera, 

 including the four species Originally associated with it in 1842, the two 

 Central American species being transferred to a section (or subgenus) Par-
