Shearia khakassica — Mikhaljova & Golovatch 2001: 110; Mikhaljova 2004: 166, figs, map; 2016: 13; 2017: 202, figs, map; Nefediev & Nefedieva 2006: 98; 2007b: 161; 2008: 62; Nefediev 2019b: 221 ; Nefediev et al. 2021: 43.

Shearia oiskaya (after Nefediev 2019b) — Mikhaljova et al. 2008: 54.

Distribution. Russia: Siberia (Republic of Khakassia, southern part of Krasnoyarsky Krai, Kemerovskaya Oblast, Republic of Altai).

Remarks. Information about the detection of a posterior angiocoxal process (pp), which was allegedly not specified in the original description ( Nefediev 2019b), is duplicative and therefore superfluous. The original description of Shearia khakassica clearly refers to the presence of this gonopod process (see Mikhaljova 2000: page 164: “posterior angiocoxal process (pp) very small, dentiform”); in addition, this process (pp) is indicated in Figure 27 of the species original description by Mikhaljova (2000). Thus, there is no need to add this character proposed by Nefediev (2019b) to the description of the species.
