Temnora eranga is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from forests from Sierra Leone to Congo and Uganda and western Kenya.[2]

The length of the forewings is 16–18 mm. It is similar to Temnora scitula, but distinguishable by the more variegated pattern, the lack of a postmedian translucent spot and another translucent spot being cream rather than white.
