RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Of the seven new species described one, Zearchaea globosa, belongs to the family Archaeidae and one, Otira affinis, to the family Arnaurobiidae. Both are placed in genera hitherto recorded from New Zealand. Four are placed in the family Cycloctenidae not previously recorded from Tasmania. They belong to the genus Cycloctenus recorded from New Zealand, New South Wales and Lord Howe Island. A key to the genus is given. A new species in the family Micropholcommatidae is added to the four already known to occur in 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.
