This is a degenerate uniform polyhedron rather than a uniform polyhedron, because some pairs of edges coincide. Not included are: The uniform polyhedron compounds. 40 potential uniform polyhedra with degenerate vertex figures which have overlapping edges (not counted by Coxeter); The uniform tilings (infinite polyhedra)
Quasi-regular polyhedra Johnson solids (92, convex, non-uniform) Bipyramids Pyramids Stellations: Stellations: Polyhedral compounds Deltahedra (Deltahedra, equilateral triangle faces) Snub polyhedra (12 uniform, not mirror image) Zonohedron (Zonohedra, faces have 180°symmetry) Dual polyhedron: Self-dual polyhedron Catalan solid
Coxeter, Longuet-Higgins & Miller (1954) define uniform polyhedra to be vertex-transitive polyhedra with regular faces. They define a polyhedron to be a finite set of polygons such that each side of a polygon is a side of just one other polygon, such that no non-empty proper subset of the polygons has the same property.
This category was created to reference the full set of 75 nonprismatic uniform polyhedra, as well as prismatic forms. It is a subset of Category:Polyhedra.. It is a union of 5 Platonic solids, 4 Kepler–Poinsot solids, 13 Archimedean solids, and the infinite prismatic sets in Prismatoid polyhedra, and adds 53 non-convex, non-regular uniform polyhedra.
image of polyhedron; name of polyhedron; alternate names (in brackets) Wythoff symbol; Numbering systems: W - number used by Wenninger in polyhedra models, U - uniform indexing, K - Kaleido indexing, C - numbering used in Coxeter et al. 'Uniform Polyhedra'. Number of vertices V, edges E, Faces F and number of faces by type.
These two uniform polyhedra cannot be generated at all by the Wythoff construction. This is the set of uniform polyhedra commonly described as the "non-Wythoffians". Instead of the triangular fundamental domains of the Wythoffian uniform polyhedra, these two polyhedra have tetragonal fundamental domains.

A polytope is a geometric object with flat sides, which exists in any general number of dimensions. The following list of polygons, polyhedra and polytopes gives the names of various classes of polytopes and lists some specific examples.
