Derambila saponaria is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Achille Guenée in 1858.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka,[2] India, Sumatra and Borneo.
Prominent black dots are found along the wing margins.[3] The Taiwan population is sometimes classified as a subspecies[4] - Derambila saponaria fragilis Butler, 1880 or as a separate species - Derambila fragilis (Butler, 1880).[5]
