N. amicus and N. baulus have indistinguishable forewings, and only differ superficially in the hindwings.

OK. I've always thought they are distinguishable on the forewing and on iNaturalist people do make the distinction!

N. secundiana has the extra white spot on the forewing, so is easily distinguishable.
N. amicus and N. baulus are considered synonyms by many taxonomists.
