Obliquely propagating electromagnetic hot plasma modes near the second harmonic electron-cyclotron frequency have been studied for a plasma of density around the cutoff density of the ordinary mode using the nonrelativistic dispersion equation. There are several branches of new electromagnetic hot plasma modes in the frequency region of 5% to 20% less than the second harmonic frequency. They are quite similar to the new modes near the fundamental frequency reported recently. There are two branches of the extraordinary mode. At the limit of small perpendicular wavenumber, one of the branches becomes a right wave of the hot plasma dispersion, and the other becomes either a left wave or a plasma wave.
