Part I proved that for every quasivariety ๐’ฆ of structures (which may have both operations and relations) there is a semilattice S with operators such that the lattice of quasi-equational theories of ๐’ฆ (the dual of the lattice of sub-quasivarieties of ๐’ฆ) is isomorphic to Con(S, +, 0, ๐’ก). It is known that if S is a join semilattice with 0 (and no operators), then there is a quasivariety ๐’ฌ such that the lattice of theories of ๐’ฌ is isomorphic to Con(S, +, 0). We prove that if S is a semilattice having both 0 and 1 with a group ๐’ข of operators acting on S, and each operator in ๐’ข fixes both 0 and 1, then there is a quasivariety ๐’ฒ such that the lattice of theories of ๐’ฒ is isomorphic to Con(S, +, 0, ๐’ข).
