"Euparthenia" is a genus of very small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks, or micromollusks. This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Chrysallidinae of the family Odostomiidae.

The name "Euparthenia" is a replacement name for "Parthenia" Lowe, 1841 not Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (see van Aartsen & Corgan, 1996).

The genus "Euparthenia" contains both Recent and fossil species.

Life habits

Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae "sensu lato", they are most likely to be ectoparasites.
