Temnora engis |
Temnora engis is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Madagascar.[2]
It is similar to Temnora murina, but the forewing upperside lacks the subapical dark spot on the outer margin, instead there is a small rounded spot set some way back from the outer margin. Also, the inner edge of the dark marginal band on the hindwing upperside is more diffuse.
