Denticetopsis

Denticetopsis s a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cetopsidae, the whale catfishes. The fishes in this genus are found in South America.

==Taxonomy== Originally Denticetopsis as described by Ferraris in 1996 was restricted to two species, D. royeroi and D. sauli. These two species have proved to be a subunit of a larger clade that also includes two species previously assigned to the now invalid genus Pseudocetopsis (D. macilenta, D. praecox), together with three species described as new in 2005 (D. epa, D. iwokrama, D. seducta).
