Derris is genus of leguminous plants. It contains 65 species, which range from eastern Africa to the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, northern Australia, and the southwest Pacific islands.[1] The roots of D. elliptica contain rotenone, a strong insecticide[2] and fish poison.
Despite the secondary compounds found in Derris, they serve as food plants for many Lepidopteran larvae [3] including Batrachedra spp.
