DITETRAGONAL PYRAMIDAL CLASS

(Hemimorphic-hemihedral).

Here there are two pairs of vertical planes of symmetry intersecting

in the tetrad axis. The pyramids {hhl} and {hol} and the bipyramid

{hkl} are all hemimorphic.

Examples are iodosuccimide (C4H4O2NI), silver fluoride (AgF.H2O), and

penta-erythrite (C5H12O4). No examples are known amongst minerals.
