You might also be looking for the species known as the Benzites.

Benzenites were a culture which had taken part in Starfleet and Federation politics.

Laporin, a starship captain, was a Benzenite. He attended Starfleet Academy with Benjamin Sisko in the early 2350s and was killed in battle with Klingons in the early 2370s when a Klingon officer ripped the breathing tubes from his head. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, Benzenites are the same species as Benzites.

-:''Laporin was not seen on screen, so his appearance with or without breathing tubes remains unseen. Laporin is sometimes called a [[Benzite]], despite the script and dialogue of "Apocalypse Rising" calling him Benzenite – and the fact the Benzites don't have breathing tubes, nor have they been in [[Starfleet]] long enough to have gone to [[Starfleet Academy]] with [[Benjamin Sisko]] as Laporin was described.''
