Kallima paralekta

''Kallima paralekta'', commonly known as the Indian Leafwing or the Malayan Leafwing, is a species of brush-footed butterfly of the genus ''Kallima''. Despite its common names, it is not found in India or Malaysia, but is endemic to Java and Sumatra of Indonesia. Like other members of its genus, it is remarkable for its strong resemblance to a dead leaf when its wings are folded. It was one of the species encountered by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in his travels in maritime Southeast Asia. It is mentioned in his famous 19th-century work ''The Malay Archipelago'' as one of the best examples of protective camouflage achieved through natural selection.
==Taxonomy==
''Kallima paralekta'' is classified under the genus ''Kallima'' (oakleafs) of the tribe Kallimini, subfamily Nymphalinae in the brush-footed butterfly family Nymphalidae. It is the type species of the genus ''Kallima''.
The species contains two subspecies, ''Kallima paralekta paralekta'' and ''Kallima paralekta tribonia''.〔〔 The male of the species was first described as ''Paphia paralekta'' by the American physician and naturalist Thomas Horsfield in 1829. The female was described in 1850 by the entomologist John O. Westwood. The type specimens of both were recovered from Java, Indonesia.〔〔
The species is commonly known as the "Indian Leafwing", though it is not found in India. It may be because its native range was once known as the East Indies; or it might be because the similarly colored and closely related Orange Oakleaf (''Kallima inachus'') found in India and throughout tropical eastern Asia was at times confused and previously considered a subspecies of ''Kallima paralekta''.〔 It is also sometimes known as the "Malaysian Dead Leaf" or "Malayan Leafwing", which is also misleading since it is not found in Malaysia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Kallima paralekta'' )〕 However a subspecies of ''Kallima limborgii'' found in the northwest of Peninsular Malaysia, ''Kallima limborgii amplirufa'', was once included within ''Kallima paralekta'' as ''Kallima paralekta amplirufa''.〔
