Black Panther is not a species but wild black panthers in Latin America are black jaguars (Panthera onca), in Asia and Africa they are black leopards (Panthera pardus), and in North America they may be black jaguars or possibly black cougars (Puma concolor - although this has not been proven to have a black variant).

How do scientists test to see if panthers are the same species as leopards?

The term 'panther' applies to certain big cats the way the word 'terrier' does to dogs. All leopards, jaguars and cougars ( also known as mountain lions or pumas ) are members of the panther family and are therefore panthers. Most people hear the word ' panther ' and think of a very big black cat. These are always black leopards or black jaguars. No-one would look at a leopard and say 'Oh look at that panther' but nevertheless it is a panther - one type of panther.
