Using Serre’s proposed complement to Shih’s Theorem, we obtain PSL2(Fp) as a Galois group over Q for at least 614 new primes p. Under the assumption that rational elliptic curves with odd analytic rank have positive rank, we obtain Galois realizations for 3 8 of the primes that were not covered by previous results.
