Spectroscopic observations are presented for V616 Mon and HDE 245770, the proposed optical counterparts of the transient X-ray sources A0620-00 and A0535+26. The spectral evolution of the first object is incompatible with its designation as Nova Mon 1975 and suggests a model where the atmosphere of a late-type star is heated by X-radiation produced on a nearby collapsed object. The spectroscopic variations reported for the second star give further support to the identification of A0535+26 with this Be variable. Its higher luminosity remains practically unchanged during the X-ray outburst. The occurrence of X-nova phenomena in two classes of objects with different masses and luminosities is outlined.
