RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
This describes a new species (Edmundsiops hiclemani) of baetid mayfly (Ephemeroptera) from Tasmania, updates the earlier (1936) work by R.J. Tillyard with recognition of a new combination (Offadens frater) and provides the first description of the nymph of Cloeon tasmaniae Tillyard. E.hickmani and 0. frater are common throughout southeastern Australia, whereas C. tasmaniae has only been recorded from Tasmania.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
