The central area is about 1/3 of the total diameter. In the central area, the fultoportulae and areolae are usually arranged randomly, although they may be slightly radial. Stria density is 11-13 in 10 µm. Two or three equally-spaced, or slightly unevenly-spaced, rimoportulae are located at the central ends of shortened striae.
