Notes on the Sand Cat, Felis margarita Loche, 1958
1976  Zeitschrift fr S„ugetierkunde (41): 286-303

The Sand Cat, _Felis margarita_, is a highly desert-adapted species, phylogenetically related in all probability to _Felis chaus_ on the one side and Felis silvestris on the other. Its age, sex, seasonal and individual variations are described, and on this basis comparisons are made between the four geographical variants which are all recognised as subspecies (one of them newly described).
