In geometry, a diminished trapezohedron is a polyhedron in an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by removing one of the polar vertices of a trapezohedron and replacing it by a new face (diminishment). It has one regular n-gonal base face, n triangle faces around the base, and n kites meeting on top. The kites can also be replaced by rhombi with specific proportions. Along with the set of pyramids and elongated pyramids, these figures are topologically self-dual. It can also be seen as an augmented n-gonal antiprism, with a n-gonal pyramid augmented onto one of the n-gonal faces, and whose height is adjusted so the upper antiprism triangle faces can be made coparallel to the pyramid faces and merged into kite-shaped faces. They're also related to the gyroelongated pyramids, as augmented antiprisms and which are Johnson solids for n = 4, 5. This sequence has sets of two triangles instead of kite faces. (en)
