Abstract
We define pq-varieties as classes of finite semigroups closed under the formation of subsemigroups and finitary direct products. Different examples of pq-varieties arise naturally in the study of semigroups of mappings. We consider for these pq-varieties two typical problems of the theory of pseudovarieties.
