[2] Another species, Felis pamiri, was described in 1965 based on a snout fragment found in Turkey.

[4] A 2020 study of newfound material from the Siwaliks region suggested that the species Miopanthera lorteti be reassigned to the genus Sivaelurus, and that M. pamiri be assigned to a new genus because it is younger, larger, and more derived.

[6] Miopanthera lorteti ranged in size from that of a large caracal to a small leopard.

Miopanthera pamiri, which is known only from fragmentary, though intact, material[clarification needed] from a single individual, is theorized to have been similar in size to a large lynx or a small puma.

Due to certain features, it is also considered likely that Miopanthera was in some way ancestral to the modern Panthera lineage.
