Abstract. The subject of this paper are varieties
U(M;N)
of groupoids defined by the following system of identities
{ xm+1y = xy : m
∈ M }
∪
{ xyn+1 = xy :
n ∈ N },
where M, N are sets of positive integers. The equation
U(M;N) =
U(M';N')
for any given pair (M,N) is solved,
and, among all solutions, one called canonical, is singled out.
Applying a result of Evans it is shown for finite
M and N that: if M and N are
nonempty and gcd(M) =
gcd(M ∪ N),
or only one of M and N is
nonempty, then the word problem is solvable in
U(M;N).
