Two quasi-linear models of parallel whistler-mode instabilities are presented. The first one is based on the assumption of a homogeneous plasma and the second one is relevant to closed magnetospheric field tubes. In contrast to earlier quasi-linear models of these instabilities, the effects of a finite ratio of wave frequency omega to the electron gyrofrequency Omega are taken into account in a self-consistent manner. It is pointed out that in many cases relevant to magnetospheric applications these effects can be negligibly small, so that the applicability of the earlier simplified models obtained for omega/Omega approaching 0 can be justified. The second of the models considered is more reliable for the interpretation of plasmaspheric hiss emissions than for midlatitude hiss emissions generated outside of the plasmapause.
