Recent work on {lambda} resonances in alkali-metal vapors (E. Mikhailov, I. Novikova, Yu. V. Rostovtsev, and G. R. Welch, e-print quant-ph/0309171, and references therein) investigated a type of electromagnetically induced absorption resonance that occurs in three-level systems under specific conditions normally associated with electromagnetically induced transparency. In this note, we show that these resonances have a direct analog in nonlinear magneto-optics, and support this conclusion with a calculation for a J=1{yields}J{sup '}=0 system interacting with a single, nearly circularly polarized light field in the presence of a weak longitudinal magnetic field.
