| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: — Distinguished from congeners by medium body size (to 57.0 mm SVL), slightly robust habitus, moderately wide head (to 13.7 mm HeadW), tail stout at base, small tympanum, typically 8 or 9 supralabials and 6 or 7 infralabials, enlarged dorsal tubercles surrounded by at least one smaller granule anterior and posterior to scale, and usually two smaller granules to sides, dorsum with 6–8 strongly contrasting bands; edges of bands with dark brown border and irregular edge (some bands breaking up), top of head pale.

| Comment | Habitat. — Sheltering among rocks naturally, but can be found among human-made structures such as sheet metal in rocky surrounds. Similar species: H. binoei (see sympatry) Sympatry: the CA6 chromosome race of H. binoei in central Australia. Here H. binoei also posess a banded morphology, with occasional samples strikingly similar to H. fasciolatus. |
| Etymology | In a PhD thesis, Stewart (1996) informally proposed the name H. fasciolatus based on four karyotyped specimens from Undoolya Station in Central Australia. Fasciolatus is a diminutive of the Latin fascia, meaning ‘band’. |
