Mistake
- A right-regular prism in which the rectangular faces are square is semi-regular (see Archimedean solid).
Correction
Technically, right-regular prisms with square side faces which also have square bases are not semi-regular polyhedra, as they are cubes, and so all faces are congruent.
The faces of a semi-regular polyhedron are specifically not all congruent.
