editThere 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 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]
