Electrokoenenia yaksha is a Palpigrade that lived approximately 100 million years ago during the Mesozoic period. It is the first microwhip scorpion fossil from this period to be found.

The palpigrade was discovered in 2016 when a specimen was found in Cretaceous (Cenomanian) amber from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. It is 1.47 millimetres (0.058 in) long, and has a yellow coloring.
