Fountainea nobilis caudata
Uncommon 1450-2100 m. Attracted to bait; occasionally puddles.
Similar species: Most similar to F. nessus but V much more reddish; D very different. Compare also with Polygrapha tyrianthina (found at higher elevations, with probable overlap) which lacks HW tails among other differences.
