The cross sections for low-energy scattering of muonic hydrogen on hydrogen molecules are calculated in a semiclassical approach. The molecular binding is described with the {open_quote}{open_quote}mass-tensor approach{close_quote}{close_quote} and the electronic screening corrections are calculated in the Glauber approximation. This rather simple computational scheme is applied to the scattering of {ital d}{mu} on H{sub 2} and T{sub 2} and to the scattering of {ital p}{mu} and {ital t}{mu} on {ital D}{sub 2}. The results obtained are compared to the values reported by Adamczak {ital et} {ital al}. [Muon Catalyzed Fusion {bold 7}, 309 (1992)]. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
