In their investigation of superthermal electron motion in the midlatitude plasmosphere, Khazanov et al. (1977) adopted the following restrictions: (1) the photoelectron distribution function is symmetric relative to the plane of the geomagnetic equator, and (2) the value of the photoelectron distribution function along the characteristics of motion remains constant. This allowed simplification of the kinetic equation for photoelectrons and reduced the problem of photoelectron capture by the geomagnetic field to an analytic solution of a certain effective equation. The present study considers the relaxation or complete elimination of these two restrictions in order to widen the field of application of the solution of the kinetic equation. A kinetic equation is obtained for photoelectrons averaged with respect to oscillations between reflection points, which describes photoelectron motion in the plasmosphere. Solution of this equation describes a certain effective photoelectron distribution, averaged along the geomagnetic field lines.
