Most consider F. manul to be included with Felis ( Felis) and separation into Otocolobus following Wozencraft (1993) would make Felis paraphyletic ( Bininda-Emonds et al., 1999; Collier and O'Brien, 1985; Hemmer, 1978; Mattern and McLennan, 2000; Salles, 1992; Weigel, 1961). McKenna and Bell (1997) placed in Felis ( Otocolobus) . Subspecies allocated according to Pocock (1951) and Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951).
