#### Abstract

In this paper, we study the geometry lightlike hypersurfaces (M, $g$, S(TM)) of a semi-Riemannian manifold ($\tilde{M}$, $\tilde{g}$) of quasi-constant curvature subject to the conditions: (1) The curvature vector field of $\tilde{M}$ is tangent to M, and (2) the screen distribution S(TM) is either totally geodesic in M or totally umbilical in $\tilde{M}$.
