Additions/changes/corrections to NZIB

• Ceratoplatus fullerae Schmitz, 1939 E [genus name underlined] is now Phoricesa fullerae (Schmitz, 1939) E [genus name underlined]
  • NOTE: Brown & Oliver (2011) use the junior homonym Ceratoplatus as a valid name, without any reference to the replacement name Phoricesa Koçak & Kemal, 2010
• I treat SCIADOCERIDAE as a subfamily of PHORIDAE, following Disney (2001), Brown (2007), etc.
