Precise wavelength predictions are presented for the 3s3p /sup 3/P/sub 1/-3s3p /sup 3/P/sub 2/ magnetic-dipole transitions, the 3s3p /sup 3/P/sub 0/-3s3p /sup 3/P/sub 2/ electric-quadrupole transitions, and the 3s/sup 2/ /sup 1/S/sub 0/-3s3p /sup 3/P/sub 1/ intercombination lines for all members of the Mg isoelectronic sequence with Z< or =45. Magnetic-dipole and intercombination transitions of this type have recently been observed in tokamak spectra and have applications for localized diagnostics in high-temperature plasmas. The predictions are based on interpolations and extrapolations of empirical regularities, which also provide insights into the dynamics of these atomic systems.
