Peter Friedrich Röding (17 June 1767 – 8 June 1846) was a German
malacologist who lived in Hamburg
. Very little is known about this naturalist.
Many of Röding's descriptions (often simply a German rendition of the Latin
Friedrich Wilhelm Martini and Martin Lister
. Röding's references to pre-existing descriptions and figures make these names also valid, since they are unequivocally recognizable, and were (after Röding) subsequently adopted by many later authors.
Museum Boltenianum
He was the principal
taxa
, though with long names and short descriptions. Thus Röding is credited with naming many taxa.
Museum Boltenianum sive Catalogus…, the sale catalogue, is a rare book. Genera published in the anonymously authored work "Museum Boltenianum sive catalogus cimeliorum…" published in 1798 were for a long time ascribed to Joachim Friedrich Bolten, but are now considered to have been authored by Röding according to a ruling by the ICZN in 1956.[1]
