A property equivalent to being semi-Kelley

We present a property equivalent to the property of being semi-Kelley. Using this equivalence we prove that being semi-Kelley is a hereditary property for atriodic continua. We prove that semi-Kelley remainders are atriodic, moreover, we prove that semi-Kelley continua are semi-Kelley remainders for chainable continua, circularly chainable continua, and arc continua, and we give an example of an atriodic Kelley continuum which is a semi-Kelley remainder and not a Kelley remainder. We also prove that hereditarily semi-Kelley dendroids are smooth.
