Crowned areoles occur with very long Žlaments (type 5) and with moderately short Žlaments (type 6). Both types of crowned areoles always occur in clusters of two and are surrounde d by about 8-12 elevated areoles of type 4. The crowned areoles with long Žlaments only occur on both sides along the ventral and the dorsal midline ( Žgures 3A, C, D, 4G). The clusters are 80-120 m m apart from each other. They do not have equal distances from the midline or from each other, but are only roughly arranged in two lines on either side of the midline. The number of Žlaments per areole varies and obviously the Žlaments can break oV leaving only short rudiments. The Žlaments are about 200 m m long. The crowned areoles with shorter Žlaments (type 6 ) are distributed all over the cuticle ( Žgures 3B, E, 4A-C ). They also occur in clusters of two surrounded by elevated areoles. The two clustered crowned areoles enclose a central tubercle between them ( Žgures 4A, C ). The existence of a central tubercle

The apical surface of the crowned areoles is more or less at with ridge-like structures that give rise to the Žlaments on the lateral side ( Žgure 4C ). Most Žlaments are 5-15 m m long, but can also reach lengths of about 25 m m.
