Palaeozoic scorpions are diverse in Europe and North America but are rarely found in Asia. Here we describe a fossil scorpion from the Lower Permian of Wuda, Inner Mongolia, China. It is very similar to Eoscorpius sparthensis from the Late Carboniferous, but differs from the latter in having posterior location of the ocellar node. The preabdomen of the new specimen is complete and its preanal is not elongated. Our discovery is not only the second Palaeozoic scorpion from China, but also the third scorpion from the Permian in the world.
