Until the Holocene a second member of Cryptoprocta occurred on the island that was notably larger than the living species ( Goodman et al., 2004). On the basis of molecular data this radiation of Carnivora is slightly younger than that of lemurs, but the two groups have co-existed on Madagascar for something on the order of 20 million years ( Yoder et al., 2003).

Recent molecular studies indicate that Cryptoprocta is part of a radiation of Carnivora endemic to Madagascar, which unites all of the native species on the island into a single clade ( Yoder et al., 2003), now recognized as the endemic family Eupleridae ( Wozencraft, in press).

Some of these attributes, such as semi-retractable claws used in both climbing and hunting, contributed to the long-running uncertainty as to the phylogenetic relationships of this animal. Veron & Catzeflis, 1993 Veron, 1995), showing numerous convergent morphological characters with members of the Felidae. Cryptoprocta has been a taxonomic enigma until recently (cf. The puma-like Cryptoprocta ferox is the largest living Carnivora on Madagascar ( Goodman et al., 2003).
