Bifurculapes scolopendroideus Hitchcock, 1858
Taxon description
Getty, 2016
Emended diagnosis: Bifurculapes with one to two tracks per series; the inner tracks are only intermittently present. Where present, the inner tracks are oriented either parallel to or inward relative to the trackway midline, and are more irregularly placed than in Bifurculapes laqueatus such that the paired series are not always visible.
