Theodore Edward (Theodor Edvard) Cantor (1809–1860) was a Danish physician, zoologist and botanist.[1] He described several new species of reptiles and amphibians, and six species have been named in his honor.
Born to a Danish Jewish family,[2] his mother was a sister of Nathaniel Wallich. Cantor worked for the British East India Company, and made natural history collections in Penang and Malacca.[3]
