The dual tiling is called an order-4-8 kisrhombille tiling, made as a complete bisection of the order-4 octagonal tiling, here with triangles are shown with alternating colors. This tiling represents the fundamental triangular domains of [8,4] (*842) symmetry.
Symmetry
Truncated tetraoctagonal tiling with *842, , mirror lines
There are 15 subgroups constructed from [8,4] by mirror removal and alternation. Mirrors can be removed if its branch orders are all even, and cuts neighboring branch orders in half. Removing two mirrors leaves a half-order gyration point where the removed mirrors met. In these images fundamental domains are alternately colored black and white, and mirrors exist on the boundaries between colors. The subgroup index-8 group, [1+,8,1+,4,1+] (4242) is the commutator subgroup of [8,4].
A larger subgroup is constructed as [8,4*], index 8, as [8,4+], (4*4) with gyration points removed, becomes (*4444) or (*44), and another [8*,4], index 16 as [8+,4], (8*2) with gyration points removed as (*22222222) or (*28). And their direct subgroups [8,4*]+, [8*,4]+, subgroup indices 16 and 32 respectively, can be given in orbifold notation as (4444) and (22222222).
Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 7 forms with full [8,4] symmetry, and 7 with subsymmetry.
