Abstract: We explore further our recent generalization of the mathcalN=4 superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten. We find and construct explicitly theories of enhanced mathcalN=5 or 6 supersymmetry, especially mathcalN=5, Sp(2M)imesO(N) and mathcalN=6, Sp(2M)imesO(2) theories. The U(M)imesU(N) theory coincides with the mathcalN=6 theory of Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena (ABJM). We argue that the mathcalN=5 theory with Sp(2N)imesO(2N) gauge group can be understood as an orientifolding of the ABJM model with U(2N)imesU(2N) gauge group. We briefly discuss the Type IIB brane construction of the mathcalN=5 theory and the geometry of the M-theory orbifold.
