Magnetohydrodynamic waves, having unusual dispersion and resonance properties, have been found within the framework of the linear kinetic theory. This modification is due to the energetic ion component of the cosmic plasma. Calculations (estimates) illustrate the possibility of this modification by H+, He+, and O+ ions, for example, in the magnetosphere of the Earth.
