hemiradiata Dirlbek & Dirlbek, 1991 known from mainland Spain, pupillata (Fall?n, 1814) from Andorra. No others recorded in the Iberian catalogue.

In fact, the wing pattern is as shown for the HT of N. hemiradiata, but I still ahve no idea if it is a good species... And perhaps nobody knows. Bernhard's impression was tht it might be a synonym of pupillata. But the dignostics of Spanish stuff is still uncertain.
