Fork
I see the fork in Cu at the right tip of the inverted "T"-shaped dark spot at the end of m-cu. In Tanypus the fork is near m-cu. In Procladius it is far beyond.

OK -
thanks - we're seeing the same thing then - I will have to make a note in my MND key - I think that couplet is problematic for this genus then - it's very close to being "opposite" m-cu.
