Lataxiena lutescena is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc, in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.

[1][2] This species was recognized during a reidentification of the Muricidae collection.

The name of this species is derived from the Latin word "lutescena", which means "creamy".

This refers to the species' creamy, yellow peristome.
