Abstract: Using a method of R. McKenzie, we construct a finitely generated semisimple variety of infinite type, and a finitely generated nonsemisimple variety of finite type, both having arbitrarily large finite but no infinite simple members. This amplifies M. Valeriote's negative solution to Problem 11 from Hobby and McKenzie, The Structure of Finite Algebras.
