'''PIGEON-HOLE''' – an alveolar cavity in the exoskeletal polygonal network that expands at its blind end below the [[epiderm]] into a polygonal shape. Its opening into the [[chamber]] cavity is delimited by longer [[beam]]s (perpendicular to the [[septum]]) and by shorter rafters (parallel to the [[septum]]).
