Pantherinae is the subfamily of the Felidae family that includes the genera Panthera, Uncia and Neofelis.^[1]

The divergence of Pantherinae from Felinae has been ranked between six and ten million years ago.^[2] DNA analysis suggests that the snow leopard Uncia uncia is basal to the entire Pantherinae and should be renamed Panthera uncia. There is also evidence of distinct markers for the mitochondrial genome for Felidae.^[3]^[4]

Another DNA based study has suggested that the branching order was Panthera tigris first, followed by Panthera onca, Panthera leo, and the last two sister species: Panthera pardus and Panthera uncia.^[5]
