Notes:   Richardson 2019: However, N. alta can immediately be separated from all the Agatha group species by the hindwing bands hb2 and hb3 being well separated along their entire length. Additionally, hb3 breaks up into three or four dots distally, these being in line with the proximal section of the line and not scattered as in the otherwise similar looking Agatha group species.
