He was born and died in Palermo, Italy. He was a professor of botany and became the director of the botanical gardens in Palermo. Starting with 1864 he edited the exsiccata Flora Sicula exsiccata.[1] Todaro published the Hortus Botanicus Panormitanus in 1876–1878.
In 1843, botanist Filippo Parlatore published Todaroa, which is a genus of flowering plants from the Canary Islands, belonging to the family Apiaceae. It just contains one known species, Todaroa aurea (Aiton) Parl., and it is named after Agostino Todaro.[2]
The standard botanical author abbreviation Tod. is applied to species he described.
