Fragum vanuatuense spec. nov. (Cardiidae) is described from various localities in the central Indo-West Pacific. It represents the smallest Fragum and is compared with F. grasi Ter Poorten, 2009 and F. sueziense (Issel, 1869), both occurring partly sympatric with F. vanuatuense spec. nov. Figures of the juvenile growth stages of six Fragum species are given for comparison.
