== Taxonomy == The genus Sorensenella was erected by R.I. Pocock in 1903. The type species is Sorensenalla prehensor and is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Carl Freidrich Roewer erected the genus Akaroa in 1932, but Ray Forster synonymised this under Sorensenella in his monograph on the New Zealand Laniatores.
