We use the $\rho\Delta$ interaction in the hidden gauge formalism to dynamically generate $N^{\ast}$ and $\Delta^{\ast}$ resonances. We show, through a comparison of the results from this analysis and from a quark model study with data, that the $\Delta_{5/2^{-}}(1930),$ $\Delta_{3/2^{-}}(1940)$ and $\Delta_{1/2^{-}}(1900)$ resonances can be assigned to $\rho\Delta$ bound states. More precisely the $\Delta_{5/2^{-}}(1930)$ can be interpreted as a $\rho\Delta$ bound state whereas the $\Delta_{3/2^{-}}(1940)$ and $\Delta_{1/2^{-}}(1900)$ may contain an important $\rho\Delta$ component. This interpretation allows for a solution of a long-standing puzzle concerning the description of these resonances in constituent quark models. In addition we also obtain degenerate $J^{P}=1/2^{-},3/2^{-},5/2^{-}$ $N^{*}$ states but their assignment to experimental resonances is more uncertain.
