Temnora argyropeza is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Madagascar.[2]

It is very similar to Temnora marginata marginata, but the forewing upperside is lacking the pale oblique line. The hindwing upperside is entirely dark orange-brown, lacking a brown marginal band but thinly edged with blackish-brown.
