The Benthans were a warp-capable species from Benthos in the Delta Quadrant.

They were encountered in 2374 by USS Voyager. (VOY: "Vis à Vis")

It was never made clear if Steth or Daelen was the Benthan, as both were from Benthos and no other Benthans were seen. It's possible that natives Benthan share their homeworld with other, non-native species.
