Max Quedenfeldt

Maximilian Friedrich Wilhelm Quedenfeldt (13 June 1851 – 18 September 1891) was a German explorer, army officer, collector, ethnographer, and naturalist. Like his father Friedrich Otto Gustav Quedenfeldt, he too had a special interest in insects and collected specimens from around the world. The lizard genus Quedenfeldtia was named in his honour by Oskar Böttger.
