Width of corrugation millimetric, gradually increasing distally from broad anterior end. Corrugations in border panel passing laterally into systematic, distally directed deflections in marginal zone before terminating obliquely at rim. Additional set of short, slightly curved, parallel lobate corrugations positioned along rectilinear panel boundary, trending obliquely to main corrugations.
