Abstract: We consider smooth 1-parameter families of plane curves tangent to a semicubic parabola, when the curvature radius of their curves at the tangency point vanishes at the cusp point. We find the

-normal form of these families, their envelopes and local patterns near the cusp. We obtain a new codimension 2 singularity of envelopes (two transversal semicubic cusps), and we describe its perestroikas under generic small deformations.
