This species is similar to N. aurora but can be characterized by the following features: the external silver-gray band of the forewing central fascia is broken in the middle; the part adjacent to the costal margin is hook-shaped in such a way that its distal part is parallel to the costal margin; the vinculum is long, more than 3 × the length of the valva; the medial margin of the valva distally has a prominent lobe appearing laterally as a triangular process.

Specimens examined. Not available in this study.
