The symmetry of a p-gonal antiprismatic prism is [2p,2+,2], order 8p.

A p-gonal antiprismatic prism or p-gonal antiduoprism has 2 p-gonal antiprism, 2 p-gonal prism, and 2p triangular prism cells. It has 4p equilateral triangle, 4p square and 4 regular p-gon faces. It has 10p edges, and 4p vertices.

Convex uniform antiprismatic prisms There is an infinite series of convex uniform antiprismatic prisms, starting with the digonal antiprismatic prism is a tetrahedral prism, with two of the tetrahedral cells degenerated into squares. The triangular antiprismatic prism is the first nondegenerate form, which is also an octahedral prism. The remainder are unique uniform 4-polytopes.
