An example of an \(o\)-approximable variety of \(\ell\)-groups \({\mathcal {V}}\) which has no covers in the lattice L of \(o\)-approximable varieties of \(\ell\)-groups was given by N. Ya. Medvedev [Czech. Math. J. 34 (109), 6-17 (1984; Zbl 0551.06017)]. In the article under review it is shown that a variety \({\mathcal {V}}\) has continuum many covers in the lattice L of varieties of \(\ell\)-groups, and that the same is also true of an arbitrary \(o\)-approximable variety \({\mathcal {X}}\) with the property \({\mathcal {V}} \subseteq {\mathcal {X}}\). It is proven that every \(o\)-approximable quasivariety \({\mathcal {Q}}\) of \(\ell\)-groups, for which \({\mathcal {V}} \subseteq {\mathcal {Q}}\), has continuum many covers in the quasivariety lattice \(\Lambda \).
