Diagnosis: Shell complete, one-plated, depressed; orifice and shell oval shaped; only inhabit fire corals ( Millepora spp. ).
Comment: From molecular analyses ( Malay & Michonneau, 2014; Tsang et al., 2014), Wanella formed a separate clade, outside the pyrgomatid clade and inside the balanid clade. This argues for a subfamilylevel classification under Balanidae .
