An earlier discussion of genus Styioniscus is revised.
Tasmanian forms previously identitied as St. thomsolli,

New Zealand species is given. One other new species
of Styloniscus from Tasmania is described. Variation
among New Zealand exampies of St. otakensis is discussed
and a typical form of this species is determined.
The occurrence of St. nichollsi in caves is recorded.
Supplementary type specimens are selected for Notoniscus

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.
