RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The monotypic Lissodesmus modestus Chamberlin, 1920,is redescribed from nearly topotypical material, and four new species, L. adrianae L. alisonae L. perporosus and L. margaretae all from Tasmania are added to the genus. Australopeltis Johns, 1964, based on Pseudoprionopeltis martini Carl, 1902, from Victoria, is considered a synonym of Lissodesmus (new synonymy). Some remarks are made on the classification of the nonparadoxosomatid Polydesmida of 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.
