RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Examination of Trichoptera specimens collected in Tasmania over the last 25 years has led to a revision of the Trichoptera list for Tasmania, and expansion of the distributions of many species, particularly those in the World Heritage areas. The following 17 new species are described: Poecilochorema anastemum, T aschorema dispatens, Ptychobiosis iconica, Chimarra derogata, Hydrobiosella tahunense, H. anatolica, H disrupta, H propinqua, H scalaris, H otaria, Daternomina quastrulla, D. jacksonae, Cheumatopsyche deani, C. alampeta, Diemeniluma serrula, Marilia aenigmata and T asmanthrus gwendolensis. There are also three new combinations – Taschorema ithyphallicum Schmid, Daternomina irrorata Kimmins and Diemeniluma tasmanica Jacquemart. New genera are established for Daternomina (Family Ecnomidae) and Diemeniluma (Family Hydropsychidae).

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.
