This drawing is from
Seba (1758)
. He called this
Cancer uka una, Brasiliensibus,
mistakingly naming it after the wrong image from
Marcgrave (1648)
. Today, this drawing is known to be of
Afruca tangeri
. This identical image was reprinted in
Herbst (1782)
as
Cancer vocans major,
in
Shaw & Nodder (1802)
as
Cancer uka,
and in
Latreille (1818)
as
Gelasima Maracoani.
