Denticetopsis seducta is a species of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cetopsidae, the whale catfishes.[2] This species is endemic to Brazil where it has a relatively wide, albeit scattered, distribution in the central and western portions of the Amazon basin and possibly the southwestern portions of the Orinoco River basin; it is relatively disjunct from the other species of Denticetopsis.[3] This demersal fish grows to a standard length of 5.1 cm (2.0 in).[4]
