Some properties and characterizations for abundant semigroups with generalised quasi-adequate transversals are explored. In such semigroups, an interesting property [∀a, b ∈ ReS, V S o (a) ∩ V S o (b) ∅ ⇒ V S o (a) = V S o (b)] is investigated and thus the concept of refined generalised quasi-adequate transversals, for short, RGQA transversals is introduced. It is shown that RGQA transversals are the real common generalisations of both orthodox transversals and adequate transversals in the abundant case. Finally , by means of two abundant semigroups R and L, a spined product structure theorem for an abundant semigroup with a quasi-ideal RGQA transversal is established.
