The denticle herring (Denticeps clupeoides) is a small (15 cm) species of ray-finned fish found only in the rivers of Benin, Nigeria and Cameroon, related to the herrings, but notable for its large anal fin and its array of denticles under the head giving it almost a furry appearance. It is the sole living member of the family Denticipitidae.
