Panthera uncia pyrenaica, also known as the Arago snow leopard or as the European snow leopard, is a subspecies of snow leopard that lived during the Middle Pleistocene in southern France .[1]
It was originally interpreted as a leopard fossil, and given the name Panthera pardus tautavelensis in the Program/Guide book for 16th International Cave Bear and Lion Symposium; however, this name, since it was not formally published in a scientific journal, is considered a nomen nudum.[1][2]
