Hesperilla mastersi marakupa is described and
figured, this is an unexpected addition to the list
of Tasmanian butterflies; the food plant of Oreisplanus
munionga larana Couchman is also recorded
from this State. Graphium macleayanus ssp.
wilsoni from the Atherton Tableland and ssp.
moggana from western Tasmania are distinguished
from the typical race from Port Jackson.
The subspecies of Bindahara phocides occurring
in north-eastern Queensland which authors have
placed as either sugriva Horsfield or isabella Felder
is nov, designated ssp. yurgama. In continuation
of the study of Pseudalmenus chlorinda Blanchard,
the name myrsilus Doubleday and Hewitson is
revived for the brilliant race from the Tasman
Peninsula, and a remarkably melanic population
in the Conara area is separated as ssp. conara.
The hitherto unknown female of Heteronympha
penelope panope Waterhouse from the Cradle Mt.
district is described.

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.
