The Dopterians are an unscrupulous humanoid species found throughout the Alpha Quadrant.
They are distant relatives of the Ferengi, who share a similar four-lobed brain structure and with it an inablility to be read by telepathic species such as Betazoids. (TNG: "Firstborn", DS9: "The Forsaken")
Dopterians also share an unusual resemblance to the Kobheerian species; their appearance is almost identical, however Dopterians have Ferengi-like noses, whereas Kobheerians have two large, elongated flat nostrils in the place of a nose.
