Genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships among six populations of the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) in China were analyzed by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPD) methods. 35 effective primers were obtained from 40 random primers. 35 primers amplified 6 mixed samples representing 6 populations respectively and 288 DNA bands were obtained, of which 231 bands are polymorphic, accounting for 80.21%. The numbers of DNA bands produced by single primer range from 2 to 16. On average, each primer produces 8.23 DNA bands. Based on genetic distances, molecular phylogenetic trees of the leopard cat have been constructed by Unweighted Pair Group Method using Arithmetic Mean(UPGMA), 6 populations of the leopard cat can be divided into 4 clades: the Heilongjiang-Shanxi clade, the Guizhou-Guangxi clade, the Yunnan clade and the Fujian clade, which correspond to P. b. euptilura, P. b. bengalensis, P. b. scripta and P. b. chinensis, respectively. The results support the traditional taxonomy of leopard cat subspecies based on morphological characteristics and geographic distribution.
