✦ Synopsis
In this paper we introduce strongly regular (:, ;)-geometries. These are a class of geometries that generalise semipartial geometries. Like semipartial geometries the underlying point graph is strongly regular and this is part of the motivation for studying the geometries. In the paper several necessary conditions for existence are given. Strongly regular (:, ;)-reguli are defined, and it is shown how they may be used to construct strongly regular (:, ;)-geometries. This generalises similar results by J. A. Thas in (1980, European J. Combin. 1, 189 192) constructing semipartial geometries. Several constructions of strongly regular (:, ;)-geometries are given, and possible parameters of existence for small cases are listed.

The incidence structures known as (α, β)-geometries are a generalization of partial geometries and semipartial geometries. For an (α, β)-geometry fully embedded in PG(n, q), the restriction to a plane turns out to be important. Planes containing an antiflag of the (α, β)-geometry can be divided into
