Status Keen (1971:906) discussed this species stating that the original material is lost, and that three specimens in NHMUK with the name livida on the label correspond to a good species of Engina. She further states: "Because there is no proof that Sowerby wrote the label or even saw the material from the Galápagos, it seems best to regard his species as a nomen oblitum, a forgotten name not to be brought into the formal literature without action by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature". [details]
