This species was endemic to Huahine, Society Islands.

The carnivorous snail Euglandina rosea was introduced onto the island in the early 1990s, and extinctions of endemic partulid species began immediately. Individuals of Partula arguta were collected for the ex-situ breeding programme during subsequent surveys, however the last individual died on 14 April 1994. No live individuals were found during surveys in 2000 or 2017. As a canopy-dwelling species, it is not impossible that some individuals may have survived for longer. The IUCN extinction assessment tools were used to analyse the available data for this species (see the Supplementary Material). The weighted probability of extinction of both the threats and records and surveys models combined is 0.85–0.90 and hence, although its continued survival may be highly unlikely, the species is assessed as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct).
