摘要：Two new ichnospecies of Bifungites Desio, 1940 from the Pimenteira Formation, Devonian of
Parnaíba Basin, Brazil.
This paper describes two new ichnospecies, Bifungites munizi isp.nov. and Bifungites piauiensis isp.nov.,
that occur in sandstones of the Pimenteira Formation (Devonian, Parnaíba Basin), in the Piauí State, Brazil.
Bifungites munizi isp.nov. is morphologically characterized by different terminations, one of which is reniform
and the other is dumbbell-like. Bifungites piauiensis isp.nov. shows a horizontal, straight and subcircular
shaft, with double arrow-shaped terminations which bases have projections with angles of 10º to 35º. The
morphological characteristics and dimensions of the two new ichnospecies allow their differenciation from
other ichnospecies of Bifungites, resulting in two new ichnotaxa of this ichnogenus in the Brazilian Devonian.
