RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
A Tasmanian species, which was described in an
earlier paper but wrongly assigned there to
Actaecia euchroa Dana, is named as Actaecia
thomsoni, n. sp. Differences between A. euchroa
and A. thomsoni are listed. The presence of
pseudotracheae in the pleopoda of A. thornsoni,
and of A. pallida Nicholls and Barnes, is confirmed.
Variations in the colour of specimens of A. euchroa
from New Zealand are noted.

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.
