    Quasi-triangulations of a non-orientable surface were introduced by Dupont and Palesi (J Algebr Comb 42(2):429–472, 2015 ). The quasi-arc complex provides an intricate description of the combinatorics of these quasi-triangulations. This is the simplicial complex where vertices correspond to quasi-arcs and maximal simplices to quasi-triangulations. We prove that when the quasi-arc complex is finite then it is shellable and, as a consequence, it is homeomorphic to a sphere.
