Symmetrohedron
In geometry, a symmetrohedron is a high-symmetry polyhedron containing convex regular polygons on symmetry axes with gaps on the convex hull filled by irregular polygons. The name was coined by Craig S. Kaplan and George W. Hart.
The trivial cases are the Platonic solids, Archimedean solids with all regular polygons. A first class is called bowtie which contain pairs of trapezoidal faces. A second class has kite faces. Another class are called LCM symmetrohedra.
