Helicina fasciata is a species of tropical land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Helicinidae.
This species lives in the Lesser Antilles.[1]
Although this taxon was not collected during the surveys in Dominica in 2000s, it is considered as a part of land snail fauna of Dominica.[1] Thirteen specimens that were part of the collection by Benjamin Sharp definitely belong to this taxon.[1] These specimens also lend credence to the record by A. D. Brown (1881).[2] As the species appears to be widespread in the Lesser Antilles as a result of human activities, it is quite possible that Helicina fasciata once had a population on the Dominica island; this may still be the case.[1]
