Diplichnites are arthropod trackways with two parallel rows of blunt to elongate, closely spaced tracks oriented approximately perpendicularly to the mid-line of the trackway.[1] The term is more often used for the ichnofossils of this description; however, similar trackways from recent arthropods are sometimes given this name as well.[2]
