dermal ridges
I know it's not technically the same thing, but it is the term that is used in the US instead...here are a couple of Wikipedia links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint_authentication
and you can google up the term with combinations such as "dermal ridges fingerprints" to further verify it :)

ridges
I was working in a laboratory were there work in fingerprint recognition projects. The term for the lines are ridges, and minucias is minutiae.
