Balochistan leopard The Balochistan leopard or Baluchistan leopard ("Panthera pardus tulliana") was proposed as a leopard subspecies native to Baluchistan. Reginald Innes Pocock described it in 1930 on the basis of a single skin and two skulls from the Kirthar Mountains. He admitted that the skin closely resembled those of "P. p. saxicolor", but is distinguishable from the typical "P. p. fusca" in colour. Based on genetic analysis, it was subsumed to "P. p. saxicolor". It is considered synonymous with this subspecies.

Both were formerly considered subspecies of "M. nemestrina".
