Voluta ebraea from the family of the snails was already described in 1758 by Linnaeus. Since this initial determination was based solely on empty shells, he considered them to be an East Indian species. It was not until 1874 that the zoologist Wilhelm Kobelt determined the origin of the shells of this species from Brazil.
