Temnora namaqua is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from South Africa to Tanzania.[2]
It is similar to Temnora nitida, but the oblique band is replaced by a dark brown triangular patch on the costa that is basally edged with a pale coloration. The forewing upperside of the females is similar to the males, but the pattern is very diffuse and the elements are difficult to discern.
