Species included: monotypic, Sharifiella theilerae ( Hoogstraal, 1953) .
Diagnosis: With characteristics of its single constituent species S. theilerae provided in Hoogstraal (1953) (as Haemaphysalis theilerae ), Uilenberg et al. (1979) (as Haemaphysalis theilerae ), and in the current paper below.
Etymology: The genus is named after M. Sharif, who identified himself as Officiating Assistant Superintendent, Zoological Survey of India (Calcutta) in Sharif (1928).
