-egen- is a slip here for -gen-. But you could do this without any new variables at all. 

bysort myid : drop if _N <= 2 

That said, I support Joseph's last paragraph strongly.

. sort myid
. by myid: egen myN=_N
. drop if myN<=2

Of course, dropping is quite a severe step. You might prefer to use
one of the 'mark' commands or just use the 'if' qualifier.
