    Twisted linear actions on spheres were introduced and first studied by \textit{F. Uchida} [Tohoku Math. J., II. Ser. 39, 61-69 (1987; Zbl 0622.57028)]. The present paper deals with twisted linear actions of \(SL(n,\mathbb{C})\) on the \((2n+k-1)\)-sphere and of \(SL(n,\mathbb{H})\) on the \((4n+k-1)\)-sphere. In particular it is proved that there exist uncountably many topologically distinct analytic actions, and uncountably many \(C^1\)-differentiably distinct but topologically equivalent actions of \(SL(n,\mathbb{C})\) on the \((2n+k-1)\)-sphere.
