The Hilbert space H^3q of the three quarks with one excited quark is decomposed into Lorentz group representations. It is shown that the quantum numbers of the reported and ``missing'' resonances fall apart and populate distinct representations that differ by their parity or/and charge conjugation properties. In this way, reported and ``missing'' resonances become distinguishable. For example, resonances from the full listing reported by the Particle Data Group are accommodated by Rarita-Schwinger (RS) type representations (k/2,k/2)*[(1/2,0)+(0,1/2)] with k=1,3, and 5, the highest spin states being J=3/2^-, 7/2^+, and 11/2^+, respectively. In contrast to this, most of the ``missing'' resonances fall into the opposite parity RS fields of highest-spins 5/2^-, 5/2^+, and 9/2^+, respectively. Rarita-Schwinger fields with physical resonances as lower-spin components can be treated as a whole without imposing auxiliary conditions on them. Such fields do not suffer the Velo-Zwanziger problem but propagate causally in the presence of electromagnetic fields. The pathologies associated with RS fields arise basically because of the attempt to use them to describe isolated spin-J=k+1/ 2 states, rather than multispin-parity clusters. The positions of the observed RS clusters and their spacing are well explained trough the interplay between the rotational-like (k/2)(k/2 +1)-rule and a Balmer-like -(k+1)^{-2}-behavior.
