The demitesseractic tetracomb or hexadecachoric tetracomb is the one of three regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 4-space. It is constructed from 16-cell polychoron facets, three around every edge.
As a regular honeycomb, {3,3,4,3}, it has no lower dimensional analogues, but as an alternated form, the (demitesseractic tetracomb), h{4,3,3,4}, it is related to the alternated cubic honeycomb.
