Genera are within families, not the other way around. Maybe read a book?
Also: the genus Panthera consists of 5 big cats. The other two big cats that aren’t in Panthera are the cougar, which is also colloquially called a panther, and the cheetah.
So, in fact, “panther” can refer to any big cat other than cheetahs.
Oh no! You’re right. How dare I use a dictionary of all things to define words? What was I thinking. Of course your superior intellect could easily see through my charade. Whatever would we do without you around to point out our mistakes?
No. Wrong again. FFS. Do your research. Panthers are “a large wild cat, especially a leopard or jaguar, in a color form with black fur”
This implies that it’s more common for black furred leapords and jaguars to be called panthers, but other things can be called panthers too.
Isn’t the “especially” part an injection which could be left out, so essentially: “A panther is a large wild cat, […], with black fur”?

Dude, you clearly know nothing about taxonomy or big cats. You just want to be pedantic, but you are flat out wrong
