(1979) established the ichnospecies Diplichnites cuithensis for large (up to 36 cm wide) Diplichnites trackways from the Carboniferous of Scotland and attributed the trackways to arthropleurid myriapods, specifically Arthropleura, the largest known terrestrial arthropod.

Diplichnites gouldi typically has up to 7 tracks in a track row series, whereas Diplichnites cuithiensis has up to 23 tracks in a series, the latter corresponding to the number of walking appendages of an Arthropleura (Trewin and McNamara 1994).
