Sorsogona is a genus of flatheads native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.

## Species

[edit]

There are currently six recognized species in this genus:[1]

* Sorsogona humerosa L. W. Knapp & Heemstra, 2011 (White-margined flathead)
* Sorsogona melanoptera L. W. Knapp & Wongratana, 1987 (Obscure flathead)[2]
* Sorsogona nigripinna (Regan, 1905) (Blackfin flathead)
* Sorsogona portuguesa (J. L. B. Smith, 1953) (South African thorny flathead)
* Sorsogona prionota (Sauvage, 1873) (Halfspined flathead)
* Sorsogona tuberculata (G. Cuvier, 1829) (Tuberculated flathead)

Sorsogona is recognised by Fishbase but, apparently, does not include the type species, Sorsogona serrulata, as a species within it.[1] Catalog of Fishes treats this genus as a synonym of Ratabulus.[3][4]
