Ok .. Im like totally stuck on my homework!!

We have to find the names of 8 quadrilaterals (a shape with 4 sides) , and put them in the correct boxes on this sheet we have. Sounds easy I know, but me and my friends don't know 8 quadrilaterals! I googled it and we have 6..

square
rectangle
parallelogram (squashed rectangle)
rhombus (squashed square)
kite
trapezium

Any help with the other 2 ? Please.. xD
