Abstract 

One more new species of fossil scorpion belonging to the genus Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 is described from Early Cretaceous Burmite. The description of this new species confirms once again the very speciose character of this genus. The new species presents some morphological particularities such as a total absence of eyes, attesting therefore the existence of an important morphological variability within Chaerilobuthus.
