Abstract. - A new species of the fasciolariid genus Fusinus is described from off Phuket Island, Thailand and from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. 

It is compared with F. malhaensis Hadorn et al., 2001, F. colus (Linnaeus, 1758), F. crassiplicatus Kira, 1959 and F. laviniae Snyder & Hadorn, 2006, as well as some fossil species. Post-larval shell growth in the new species is divided into three clear phases.
