The stars that now comprise Antlia lay within an area of the sky covered by the ancient constellation Argo Navis, the Ship of the Argonauts, which due to its immense size was split into several smaller constellations by Lacaille in 1763.

現時組成唧筒座的恆星位於由古代星座南船座所覆蓋的區域,南船座所代表的是希臘神話中阿爾戈英雄的船阿爾戈號,但是由於南船座實在太巨大了,因此拉卡伊在1763年把它分割成數個較小的星座。
