The rotational properties of sunspots during solar cycle 21 (1977-1986) are examined, focusing on anomalies and fine structures in the differential rotation latitudinal profile. It is shown that the fine-structure pattern of the differential rotation profile is affected by a slow equatorward shift. It is suggested that the fine structure features are caused by Coriolis forces acting on the meridional motions associated with giant toroidal convective cells. Also, it is found that, as the spot zone shifts equatorward, it expands poleward by the addition of new belts of activity on the poleward side of the preexisting active zone.
