Temnora livida is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from forests from the Gambia to Congo and Uganda.[2]
The length of the forewings is 29–34 mm, making it the largest species of the genus Temnora. The head and body are grey, with a dark median line running from the vertex to the base of the abdomen. The forewings are grey with numerous indistinct crenulate dark lines. There is a darker area at the costa near the apex and a squarish dark spot at the inner margin before the tornus. There is also a large, diffuse darker area beyond the middle of the costa. The hindwings are uniformly dark blackish grey with a pale grey spot at the tornus. The abdominal tufts are light red.
