Entomocorus benjamini is a species of driftwood catfish found in the Madeira River system in Bolivia and Brazil.[1] This species grows to a length of 7.0 cm and can be distinguished from it congeners in that the distal half of dorsal caudal fin lobe and the edge of the ventral lobe is pigmented.[2]
E. benjamini is an invertivore that feeds on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates (primarily insects), zooplankton (including cladocerans, copepods, and rotiferans), and both aquatic and terrestrial vegetation.[2] A single fish could ingest as many as 1700 planktonic crustaceans in a single night, when this species feeds near the water surface.[3]
