From editor or global species database
Spelling As the genus Gaoloufangchaeta is feminine because chaeta is feminine (code article 30.1), the species-group adjectival name should be bifurca, not bifurcus for gender agreement (code article 31.2). A helpful comparison is the (feminine) genus Achaeta (Oligochaeta: Enchytraeidae) to which authors have added a large number of feminine-ending adjectival species-group names. [details]
Type locality Gaoloufang section, Kunming, Yunnan, China, horizon of Wulongqing Formation (Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4), geolocation 24.9592 N, 102.8054 E [details]
