Bowers' categorisation:

  1. Regulars
    • All the regular polyhedra.
  2. Truncates
    • Truncates and quasitruncates of the regular polyhedra.
  3. Quasiregulars
    • Rectified regular polyhedra plus their facetings (the hemipolyhedra). Thah is also included here. Also here are the three ditrigonal polyhedra: sidtid, ditdid and gidtid.
  4. Trapeziverts
    • Cantellated regular polyhedra plus their facetings. Their facetings include both socco-type and sroh-type (blended) polyhedra.
  5. Omnitruncates
    • Omnitruncated regular polyhedra. Includes great rhombates, great quasirhombates, and cotco and idtid as special cases.
  6. Snubs
    • Alternated great rhombates. Includes Miller's monster.
  7. Prisms
    • The infinite set of prisms.
  8. Antiprisms
    • The infinite set of antiprisms and crossed-antiprisms.

Johnson's categorisation:

  1. Regulars

  2. Quasiregulars
    • Rectified regular polyhedra plus the ditrigonal polyhedra.

  4. Truncates
    • Truncates and quasitruncates of the regulars.
  5. Cantellates

  6. Other even-faced polyhedra
    • The sroh-like facetings of the cantellates.
  7. Omnitruncates
    • The great rhombates, great quasirhombates and cotco and idtid.
  8. Snubs
    • Alternated great rhombates. Includes Miller's monster.
  9. Prisms
