The valid scientific name of the leopard catshark is considered to be "Poroderma pantherinum", attributed to Müller and Henle as they were responsible for the description.

The other "Neofelis" species is the Sunda clouded leopard, which was considered a subspecies of "N. nebulosa" until 2006. Genetic analysis of hair samples of the two "Neofelis" species
