Temnora plagiata is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found in Africa.[2]

The length of the forewings is 21-23 mm. The forewing outer margin is bisinuate, strongly convex in the middle and feebly denticulate. The underside of the abdomen has two series of brown dots. The forewing upperside has a conspicuous strongly curved brown antemedian band, a discal spot and a dark brown ring with a pale centre. There is also a large sharply defined quadrangular costal patch. The hindwing upperside is brownish-orange, the submarginal line brown, running continuous from the costa to the tornus but more weakly marked between veins. The marginal band is pale brown.
