Neofelis is a genus comprising two extant species of cat in Southeast Asia: the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) of mainland Asia, and the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) of Sumatra and Borneo.
The scientific name Neofelis is a composite of the Greek word neo- (νέος) meaning 'young' and 'new', and the Latin word felis meaning 'cat'. It is placed as part of the subfamily Pantherinae, making it more closely related to the genus Panthera (which contains iconic big cats like the lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar) than other living felid species.
