I'm not sure if buxtoni is a separate species or a ssp. of one of the others. There seems to be some dispute over this

In the past the Kallima paralekta complex comprised one species from India to Sundaland.
It is now divided into several species.

Kallima inachus India to Indochina.

The others in Sundaland are more problematic.
K. paralekta in Java is distinct, the female with a white band.

K. limborgi P.Thailand, Malaya ( Sumatra & Borneo).
Elliot in C&P4 state the range as S. Burma to Neomalaya (Sumatra, Malaya & Borneo)

The taxon buxtoni's type location is Sumatra so it occur in both Sumatra & Borneo.
Treated as a ssp it is Kallima limborgi buxtoni. It can't be a ssp. of K. inachus.
It is often treated as a separate species K. buxtoni.

K. inachus. Thailand.
