    Consider the Liénard system \[ \dot x= y,\quad \dot y= -f_m(x) y- g_n(x),\tag{\(*\)} \] where \(f_m\) and \(g_n\) are real polynomials of degree \(m\) and \(n\), respectively. A planar algebraic curve \(F(x,y)= 0\) is called hyperelliptic, if \(F\) can be written in the form \[ F(x,y)\equiv (y+ p(x))^2- q(x), \] where \(p\) and \(q\) are real polynomials. The authors prove the result: There exist Liénard systems \((*)\) with \(m= 5\), \(n= 7,8,9\) which have hyperelliptic limit cycles.
