genes The Jaguar (Panthera Onca in Latin) is a geographically constrained sub-species of the Leopard (Panthera pardus adersi), as is the Melanistic (Black) Panther. They are all, in fact, very closely related. The Jaguar is generally slightly smaller and more agile than the Leopard, whereas the Black Panther can grow to much greater sizes and is usually slower but stronger. Colouration and markings vary from animal to animal but Leopards tend to be of a more uniform appearance than Jaguars. Black Panthers have similar markings but they are harder to observe.

Leopard and Jaguar are two different big cats, don't know what a cross between a Jaguar and Tiger is called, or a Jaguar and a Leopard for that matter. Hope this helps. There have been no reported true hybrids of a leopard and tiger. Sometimes Ligers can keep their spots from childhood, causing a spotted/stripped look.
