/ Abstract
Here we describe the least distributive lattice congruence $η$ on an idempotent semiring in general and characterize the varieties $D^\bullet, L^\bullet$ and $R^\bullet$ of all idempotent semirings such that $η=\mathcal{D}^\bullet, \mathcal{L}^\bullet$ and $\mathcal{R}^\bullet$, respectively. If $S \in D^\bullet [L^\bullet, R^\bullet]$, then the multiplicative reduct $(S, \cdot)$ is a [left, right] normal band. Every semiring $S \in D^\bullet$ is a spined product of a semiring in $L^\bullet$ and a semiring in $R^\bullet$ with respect to a distributive lattice.
