contents We study bifurcations of vector fields on 2-manifolds with handles in generic one-parameter families unfolding vector fields with a separatrix loop of a hyperbolic saddle. These bifurcations can differ drastically from the analogous bifurcations on the sphere. The reason is that, on a surface, a free separatrix of a hyperbolic saddle may wind toward the separatrix loop of the same saddle. When this loop is broken, sparkling saddle loops emerge. In the orientable case, the parameter values corresponding to these loops form the endpoints of the gaps in a Cantor set contained within the bifurcation diagram. Due to the presence of a Cantor set, there is a countable set of topologically non-equivalent germs of bifurcation diagrams even in generic one-parameter families, in contrast to bifurcations on the sphere.
