219 Popularly known as ocelot, Leopardus pardalis (Linné, 1758) are found in all Brazilian regions (Reis et al., 2006), with the exception of the south of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Despite its ample occurrence, estimates of legal protection run as low as 3% to 6% of its original distribution (Nowell e Jackson, 1996). The State Park of the Serra do Tabuleiro (SPST) is the largest Conservation Unit of Santa Catarina, occupying approximately 1% of the state’s territory. Notwithstanding the extensive range of the Park, within 20 years of studies in the area, not one sighting of the species had yet been reported (Graipel et al., 2008). The only evidence of the feline’s presence in the surrounding area of the SPST is that of a specimen deposited in the Laboratory of Aquatic Mammals of the Federal University of Santa Catarina in 1973 (UFSC 393). The felid’s secretive, solitary, nocturnal behaviour and closed canopy habitat have constituted major hindrances for its recording (Haines et al., 2006). The aim of this note is to give an account of the first camera-trap record of the L. pardalis in the SPST. The study was implemented in the Park area of the municipality of Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, in an area located at 27o 43’ S and 48o 49’ W. The area is within the Atlantic Forest range (Klein, 1978), with Dense Ombrophylous Forests (Veloso et al., 1991) in various stages of succession. Topography is rolling, with elevations ranging from 220 to 490 m. According to the Köeppen-Geiger classification, the predominant climate in the region is humid mesothermal, with no defined dry season, yet with hot summers (Cfa). From July 2008 to December 2009, the area was monitored with six Tigrinus digital camera-traps that sampled three areas in three different successional stages: primary and secondary forests and brush (tropical scrub). Two camera-traps were installed in each sampled area in a transect of 1.5 km, with a minimal distance of 100 m between capture stations. The camera trapping photograph of the ocelot was obtained in an area of secondary forest (27 44’ 31.9’’ S and First record of Leopardus pardalis (Linnaeus, 1758) at the State Park of the Serra do Tabuleiro, Santa Catarina, Brazil
