- antiprism
- Archimedean solid
Mistake
- If the end faces are regular and the triangular faces are equilateral, the antiprism is a semi-regular polyhedron.
- ... (right-regular) *antiprisms whose side faces are equilateral triangles are semi-regular [polyhedra].
Correction
Technically, right-regular antiprisms with equilateral triangles as side faces which also have equilateral triangles as bases are not semi-regular polyhedra, as they are octahedra, and so all faces are congruent.
The faces of a semi-regular polyhedron are specifically not all congruent.
