Distribution

Bulimulus guadalupensis probably originated in the Windward Islands (Breure, 1974).^[2]^[1] Now it is distributed throughout the Caribbean Basin, including Florida.^[1]

Dominica - introduced^[1] It is a highly variable species, which was recorded by Breure (1974)^[2] from one locality only: Roseau, Botanical Gardens. Angas (1884)^[3] reports it as “abundant on the lower slopes”.^[1] It is widely distributed in disturbed habitats throughout lowland Dominica.^[1]
