is a tetrahedron with 4 identical isosceles triangle faces. I'm wondering if there's a name for a tetrahedron with two sets of isosceles triangle faces, instead of fitting within a square cuboid, rather a general cuboid of all different lengths, so 4 edges are equal length and the remaining two edges

This contradicts the definition of disphenoid. This should not be called a special case of a disphenoid. If a disphenoid is defined to have 4 congruent faces, it makes no sense to say that a special case is one with two pairs of congruent faces which are not all congruent. Other characterizations of

would fit inside 4 vertices of a general cuboid, with its 6 edges being diagonals of the cuboid faces. If the cuboid had 3 different edge lengths, then you'd have scalene triangle faces in the disphenoid. I'll make a picture if I confirm this is true.

Here's a not so great picture showing the rhombic dispenoid, apparently with exactly 3 sets of edge lengths, in upposite pairs. I labeled them with ABC, being the lengths of te cuboid sides, and AB implying length

This is a short article, but it seems to me that it is not a stub; it covers the subject reasonably completely. I would like to remove the stub notice, if nobody objects. —

I tend to prefer non-stubs to have multiple text sections but it looks like it's long enough that some section headings could be added without much difficulty. —

the disphenoid contradict the inclusion of "digonal disphenoids" as disphenoids. I was going to cite this page but I can't because of this error.

NOTE: If this is correct, it would contradict the definition here which says a disphenoid has 4 identical triangles.

Here's another attempt to show the varied forms, this time as 2D diagrams, edges colored by equal edge lengths.
