Finite Larmor radius effects on the plasma absorption of electromagnetic waves with oblique propagation and frequency below the electron cyclotron frequency are investigated. It is shown that the strong reduction of the damping of the extraordinary mode, caused by high order Larmor radius terms for perpendicular propagation and large values of (..omega../sub p//..omega../sub c/)/sup 2/, diminishes significantly at large values of N/sub parallel/.
