Ortmann and de Man are not agreed on the identification 

 of this species. Dana in 1852, U.S. Expl. Exp., vol. xiii., 

 p. 415, suggested that it might be the species which Guerin 

 in 1838 (and earlier in 1835, see Ortmann) named Porcellana 

 grossimana. But Ortmann in 1892, 1894, and 1897 identifies 

 it with Porcellana sculpta, Milne-Edwards, 1837. In 1902 

 de Man remains unconvinced by Ortmann, and for the time 

 continues to regard natalensis as distinct from sculptus.
