The scorpion is represented by an exuviae, incomplete but well preserved in a very clear block of pale yellow amber that measures 32.0 x 16.0 x 5.0 mm. A great amount of inclusions are also present represented by vegetal debris, some insect Coleopterans and dirts.</p><p>Type locality andhorizon. – Myanmar (Burma), Kachin; precise locality unknown; Lower Cretaceous.</p><p>Patronym. – The specific name is a global homage to the family  Fraaije for their support to the development of the Oertijdmuseum in Boxtel, The Netherlands.</p><p>Depository. –   The type specimen is deposited in the collections of the  Oertijdmuseum, Boxtel, The Netherlands, under the number MABk03774</p><p>Description</p><p>Coloration. – The scorpion is yellow to pale yellow; actually, the exuviae is embbebed in a very clear amber resin, consequently, most parts are translucid allowing even observations by transparency.</p><p>Morphology. –  Carapace weakly granular to smooth; anterior margin with a strong concavity. Carinae inconspicuous; furrows weak. Median ocular tubercle anterior to the centre of the cararapace; median eyes large and separated by less than one ocular diameter; three pairs of conspicous lateral eyes. Sternum subpentagonal to triangular. Genital operculum with two semi-oval plates. Mesosomal tergites weakly granular to smooth, with one median carina; lateral carinae, if present, totally inconspicuous; VII with five carinae; the lateral weak and the internal inconspicous. Pectines large, with 18-19 teeth; fulcra inconspicuous. Sternites smooth, with large slit-like spiracles. Metasomal segment I with 10 strongly marked carinae; other segments and telson not present. Chelicerae not present. Pedipalp femur pentacarinate; patella without carinae, smooth; internal face of femur and patella with spinoid granules. Chela not present. Trichobothrial pattern similar to the extant buthid type A (Vachon 1974); dorsal trichobothria of femur in beta configuration (Vachon, 1975). See diagnosis for details. Legs tarsi with thin setae forming a brush. Tibial spurs present on legs III and IV, weakly marked; pedal spurs present on legs I-IV weak to moderate in size .</p><p>Morphometric values (mm), holotype of  Cretaceousbuthus fraaijeorum Lourenço, 2022 sp. n.</p><p>– Total length, by extrapolation*, from 47.38 to 59.70.</p><p>– Carapace: length 4.34, anterior width 2.87, posterior width 3.94.</p><p>–  Mesosoma length 8.94.</p><p>– Metasomal segment I: length 2.67, width 2.94.</p><p>– Pedipalp</p><p>femur length 2.94, width 0.82</p><p>patella length 3.41, width 1.62.</p><p>(*) Comments on the possible final total size of the new species. Taking in account the global size of 19.19 mm for  Archaeoananteroides maderai Lourenço, species showing some similarities with  Cretaceousbuthus fraaijeorum Lourenço, estimations show that the new species could reach a minimum global size of 37.60 mm. Considering however that the specimen is an exuviae, and applying the growing values estimated by Dyar (1890) and Przibram &amp; Megusar (1912), which are 1.26, one can reach values of 47.38 mm in the case of one extra molt or 59.70 mm for two extra molts.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EC0587B2FFE05B2A9049F9B0FAB6F98E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The specimen is rather bulk with short pedipalps. Carapace weakly granulated to smooth; anterior margin with a deep concavity. Three pairs of lateral eyes. Sternum sub-pentagonal to almost triangular. Tergites with one median carinae; lateral carinae inconspicuous. Sternites with large slit-like spiracles. Metasomal segment I with 10 carinae; other metasomal segments not present. Chelae not present. Trichobothrial pattern similar to that of extant buthid type A (Vachon 1974); the dorsal trichobothria of femur presenting a beta disposition (Vachon, 1975).Femur orthobothriotaxic with 4 internal, 5 dorsal and 2 external trichobothria; d 5 and e 1 at the same level. Patella minorante neobothriotaxic with 1 internal, dorsal d 1 and d 2, but absence of d 3, d 4 and d 5; Seven external trichobothria are clearly visible, thanks to the transparency of the piece: et, est, em, esb 1,2 and eb 1,2. Ventral trichobothria absent. Tibial spurs present on legs III and IV, small in size. Pedal spurs present in all legs.</p><p>Etymology. – Generic name refers to the association of Cretaceous horizon and the extant genus  Buthus .</p><p>Type species. -  Cretaceousbuthus fraaijeorum Lourenço, 2022 sp. n.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EC0587B2FFE05B2A90A9FDFBFD14FA40	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The piece contains vegetal debris and some dirts. The species is clearly characterised by the shape of the telson with an aculeus with a very strong base and the presence of several spinoid granules on the pedipalp chelae (Figs. 6, 12). Two species are known for this genus (Lourenço, 2021), but the recently described  Betaburmesebuthus spinipedis Xuan, Cai &amp; Huang, 2022, most certainly do belong to the genus  Spinoburmesebuthus (Xuan et al., 2022) .</p><p>Fig. 1-5.
