contents We solve the problem of topological classification for smooth structurally stable flows on closed four-dimensional manifolds, the non-wandering set of which contains exactly two saddle equilibria, and the wandering set contains isolated trajectories connecting these saddle equilibria (heteroclinic curves). In particular, we show that for a flow of the class under consideration on $\mathbb{CP}^2$, the number of heteroclinic curves is a complete topological invariant, while on the sphere $\mathbb S^4$, there exists a countably many equivalence classes with an arbitrary odd number $γ\geq 3$ of heteroclinic curves. These results contrast with a three-dimensional case, where under similar conditions there exists only finite set of equivalence classes for each number of heteroclinic curves.
