Abstract
V.V. Sokolov's modifying symmetry approach is applied to anisotropic evolution equations of the third order on the n-dimensional sphere. The main result is a complete classification of such equations. Auto-Bäcklund transformations are also found for all equations.

Key words: evolution equation; equation on a sphere; integrability; symmetry classification; anisotropy; conserved densities; Bäcklund transformations.
