Temnora angulosa is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Nigeria to Congo.[2]
The length of the forewings is about 32 mm. It is an unmistakable species. The forewing outer margin is straight except for a bluntly triangular projection. The forewing upperside is distinctly bicoloured, dark brown basally and grey-brown distally, these areas divided by a distinct irregular line running from the middle of the costa to the tornus.
