Relations to other Regular Maps

Its dual is the di-square.

Its Petrie dual is {4,4}(1,1).

It is a 2-fold cover of the hemi-4-hosohedron.

It can be rectified to give the 4-lucanicohedron.
It is the result of rectifying the 2-hosohedron.

It can be truncated to give the cube.

It can be pyritified (type 2/4/3/4) to give the octahedron.

Its half shuriken is the hemi-8-hosohedron.

It is a member of series l.
