provided by wikipedia EN

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.

Subspecies

  • Temnora engis engis
  • Temnora engis catalai Griveaud, 1959
