About Peter Friedrich Röding
- 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 binomial name) are of species which were first named by earlier authors such as Johann Hieronymus Chemnitz, 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.
