The wave and dispersion equations for perturbations propagating parallel to an ambient magnetic field in magnetoplasmas with nongyrotropic ion populations show, in general, the occurrence of coupling between the parallel (left- and right-hand circularly polarized electromagnetic and longitudinal electrostatic) eigenmodes of the associated gyrotropic medium. These interactions provide a means to driving linearly one mode with free-energy sources of other modes in homogeneous media. Different types of nongyrotropy bring about distinct classes of coupling. The stability of a hydrogen magnetoplasma with anisotropic, nongyrotropic protons that only couple the electromagnetic modes to each other is investigated analytically (via solution of the derived dispersion equation) and numerically (via simulation with a hybrid code). Nongyrotropy enhances growth and enlarges the unstable spectral range relative to the corresponding gyrotropic situation. The relevance of the properties of nongyrotropic populations to space plasma environments is also discussed.
