Entomocorus benjamini is a kind of catfish, in the family of driftwood catfish.

Description
Like all other catfish, E. benjamini is a ray-finned fish, which means its fins are supported by multiple thin bones.

It is a small fish; the maximum recorded standard length (not counting the length of the tail fin) is 7 cm (3 in) long.

The phylogenetic diversity is estimated to be low, which means it is genetically similar to other species of driftwood catfish.

Habitat
A tropical fish that lives in warm waters, it is found in the inland waters of the Madeira River basin in the middle of South America. It has been documented to live in Bolivia and Brazil. It is considered a native species of the Madeira region and is endemic in the neotropical realm.

E. benjamini is a freshwater fish. As a ground fish, it lives in the the lower layers of deep rivers (the demersal zone).

Conservation status
E. benjamini has not been evaluated for possible inclusion in the International Union for Conservation of Nature's red list of endangered species, nor for the anti-poaching work of CITES or Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals.

History
E. benjamini was first described in the scientific literature by Carl H. Eigenmann in 1917.

Etymology
The genus name (Entomocorus) comes from the Greek, and means 'sharp eye'.
