Temnora turlini

(Temnora turlini)

Description

Temnora turlini is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Rwanda. The wingspan is 50–52 mm. It is immediately distinguishable from all other Temnora species by the narrow diffuse pinkish-white band running from a point on the costa (two-thirds from the base) almost perpendicularly to the tornus. This band separates a dark brown basal area of the wing from a paler brown distal zone.
