From images and the OD, aliena and fulgidaria are separated as under:
FW: Central golden band in fulgidaria is more irregular with spikes in the middle of the band, both internally and externally; this band is more regular in aliena, lacking prominent spikes. Basal brown band in fulgidaria is outlined with an angular white line, absent or obscure in aliena.
