Notes:   Richardson 2019: The broad discal bands only narrowly indented on the distal edge are characteristic. The forewing discal band is strongly and smoothly curved on the distal edge whilst the proximal edge is almost straight except for the notch. The notch on the proximal edge of the band, formed between fd4 and fd5, is narrower than in the closely related Agatha group species. The antennae have an orange tip, although not as bright as in N. kiriakoffi.)
