38415B13FFBB352C16BCFBCF3267F9EF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The carapace outline is rounded, elliptical, ovate, oblong or rhombic. The umbo is small, located in the anterior part of the dorsal margin. Growth bands sparse or numerous; those near the umbo are ornamented with polygonal reticulations, which can transform to radial lirae on growth bands near the ventral margin (Li, 2020 c).	en	LI, GANG (2022): SEM morphological study of the Late Triassic clam shrimp Shipingia hebaozhaiensis (Spinicaudata, Crustacea) from Yunnan, southwestern China.

38415B13FFBB352C16BCFBCF3267F9EF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Chen and Shen (1985) named the superfamily Eosestherioidea and credited the authorship to Zhang & Chen (in Zhang et al., 1976). But there was no diagnosis published at that time. The above mentioned diagnosis of the superfamily Eosestherioidea is a summary of the included forms (Li, 2020 c).	en	LI, GANG (2022): SEM morphological study of the Late Triassic clam shrimp Shipingia hebaozhaiensis (Spinicaudata, Crustacea) from Yunnan, southwestern China.

38415B13FFBB352C151EFC563478F7BA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In the original description of Shipingia Shen in Zheng et al., 1976 only large sized reticulations were mentioned on growth bands near the umbo. According to the new SEM micrography, small and large sized reticulations are irregularly arranged on growth bands near the umbo.	en	LI, GANG (2022): SEM morphological study of the Late Triassic clam shrimp Shipingia hebaozhaiensis (Spinicaudata, Crustacea) from Yunnan, southwestern China.

38415B13FFBB352C16BCF9283496FC38.taxon	diagnosis	Emended diagnosis. Carapace small or moderate in size, with a distinct posterodorsal corner. The slightly convex umbo is narrow and small, located in the anterior part of the long and straight dorsal margin. Number and width of growth bands are variable. Microsculpture distinct, consisting in part of small and large sized reticulations and irregular radial lirae, though sometimes the reticulation may be arranged in oblique stripes or parallel to the growth lines.	en	LI, GANG (2022): SEM morphological study of the Late Triassic clam shrimp Shipingia hebaozhaiensis (Spinicaudata, Crustacea) from Yunnan, southwestern China.

38415B13FFBB352C16BCF9283496FC38.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Shipingia Shen in Zhang et al., 1976 was originally assigned to the family Loxomegaglyptidae Novozhilov, 1958, which was elevated from the subfamily Loxomegaglyptinae Novozhilov, 1958 by Zhang et al. (1976), to include taxa bearing medium- to large-sized reticulations (mesh diameter between 20 and 200 µm). The type genus Loxomegaglypta Novozhilov, 1958 was considered possessing large-sized, hexagonal reticulations (mesh diameter between 50 and 100 µm) according to the text-fig. 4 of Novozhilov (1958). Recently, an SEM study on the type specimen of Loxomegaglypta wetlugiana Novozhilov, 1958 has clearly revealed a sieve-like fine pit ornamentation on growth bands (mesh diameter between 15 and 25 µm), which is much smaller than originally considered (Li, 2020 c). Thus, the author follows the opinion of Kozur & Weems (2005), to remove Shipingia and Anyuanestheria Zhang & Chen in Zhang et al., 1976 from Loxomegaglyptidae, and allocate them to Shipingiidae Kozur & Weems (2005). Kozur & Weems (2005) also assigned Laxitextella Kozur, 1982 and Redondestheria Kozur, Weems & Lucas in Kozur & Weems, 2005 to the family Shipingiidae.	en	LI, GANG (2022): SEM morphological study of the Late Triassic clam shrimp Shipingia hebaozhaiensis (Spinicaudata, Crustacea) from Yunnan, southwestern China.

38415B13FFBE352916BCFF2933F8FEBB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Three species of Shipingia were originally described from the Upper Triassic Ganhaizi Formation: Shipingia hebaozhaiensis Shen in Zhang et al., 1976, S. baxinensis Shen in Zhang et al., 1976, S. xinjieensis Shen in Zhang et al., 1976. They differ from each other by their carapace outline. Shipingia hebaozhaiensis is elliptical, S. baxinensis is oval, and the small S. xinjieensis is rounded in outline. Considering that the three species are associated together in the same horizon, they may be the same species, and the outline difference may indicate sexual dimorphism or the effects of preservational distortion. Further taxonomic SEM restudy on the latter two species is needed.	en	LI, GANG (2022): SEM morphological study of the Late Triassic clam shrimp Shipingia hebaozhaiensis (Spinicaudata, Crustacea) from Yunnan, southwestern China.
