Abstract
The Marbled Cat (Pardofelis marmorata) was placed with the Asiatic Golden Cat and Borneo Bay Cat in Pardofelis by Johnson et al. (2006) representing one of the earliest felid radiations (O'Brien and Johnson 2007). Although these genetic analyses conclude the Marbled Cat is not a close relative of Neofelis, previously it had been considered so, on the basis of morphological similarities including its coat pattern, broad feet, and elongated tail and canines (Groves 1982, Corbet and Hill 1992). More recent genetic analyses (Luo et al. 2014) suggest species-level distinction between the Indochinese and Sundaic populations of the Marbled Cat although further research is needed to corroborate this. Note: This is an amended version of the assessment to add the name of an Assessor who was omitted in error. Two references cited in the text (Velho 2013, Yue et al. in press) have been updated (the latter was published in 2015) and added to the Bibliography. The hyperlinks included in the Range text have all been removed as they were not intended to be included.
