It was recombined as Producta horrida by Sowerby (1829) and Phillips (1834); it was recombined as Pustula horrida by Buddington and Chapin (1929); it was recombined as Horridonia horrida by Gobbett (1961), Czarniecki et al. (1965), Kazmierczak (1967), Pattison (1970), Lee and Gu (1980) and Chen and Shi (2006).
