Completely regular semigroups CR are regarded here as algebras with multiplication and the unary operation of inversion. Their lattice of varieties is denoted by L(CR). Let B denote the variety of bands and L(B) the lattice of its subvarieties. The mapping V → V ∩ B is a complete homomorphism of L(CR) onto L(B). The congruence induced by it has classes that are intervals, say VB = [VB, VB] for V ∈ L(CR). Here VB = V ∩ B. We characterize VB in several ways, the principal one being an inductive way of constructing bases for v-irreducible band varieties. We term the latter canonical. We perform a similar analysis for the intersection of these varieties with the varieties BG, OBG and B.
