Francis Day (1829–1889) ehrte Jerdon, den Entdecker dieser neuen Fischart, im Jahr 1873 im Artepitheton für eine zur Familie der Erethistidae gehörende Art namens Hara jerdoni (Syn. Pomacentrus jerdoni oder Erethistes jerdoni).[1]
Im Jahr 1842 zollte ihm Edward Blyth (1810–1873) im Namen der Hinduweih (Aviceda jerdoni) Tribut und würdigte ihn als einen Naturforscher, der mit seinen ornithologischen Forschungsstudien viel zur Zoologie Indiens beigetragen hat.[2]
Erstbeschreibungen von Thomas Caverhill Jerdon
Thomas Caverhill Jerdon hat einige Arten und Unterarten als Erstautor beschrieben. Hin und wieder findet man ihn in der Literatur als Mitautor für die Gattung TickelliaBlyth, 1861,[3] die Blyth für die monotypische Art des Breitschnabel-Laubsänger (Tickellia hodgsoni) (Moore, F, 1854) schuf, für den Rostbauch-Kurzflügel (Brachypteryx hyperythra) Blyth, 1861[4] und für eine Unterart des Bergschneidervogels (Orthotomus cucullatus coronatus) Blyth, 1861[5]. Da Blyth den Artikel in Proceedings of the Scientific Meetings of the Zoological Society of London publiziert hat, gilt dieser laut den Internationalen Nomenklaturregeln als alleiniger Erstautor, obwohl alle beschriebenen Gattungen und Arten Jerdons Namen als Zusatz haben und Jerdon die ursprünglichen Notizen zum Artikel lieferte.
