    A class of regular semigroups is said to be an existence variety (or e- variety) if it is closed under the operations of taking all homomorphic images, all regular subsemigroups, and all direct products. The concept of an e-variety was introduced by the author [in Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 40, 59-77 (1989; Zbl 0666.20028)] where it was shown that e-varieties are determined by sets of identities. The present paper establishes a list of those e-varieties of regular semigroups which have the weak [strong] amalgamation property; the list is complete except possibly for groups and completely simple semigroups. Each e-variety known to have the weak amalgamation property also has the strong amalgamation property.
