Zhongxiniscus is a genus of primitive chordate from eastern Yunnan that lived during the Early Cambrian.[1] Known from a single specimen, it had a small, broad and short, fish-like body that was roughly ten millimeters in length. It possessed S-shaped myomeres, numbering roughly seven per one millimeter of length. Two triangular fins are evident on the dorsal margin.[1]
