A double-toroidal graph is a graph with graph genus 2 (West 2000, p. 266). Planar and toroidal graphs are therefore not double-toroidal. Some known double-toroidal graphs on 10 and fewer vertices are illustrated above.
The smallest simple double-toroidal graphs are on 8 vertices, of which there are exactly 15 (all of which are connected; E. Weisstein, Sep. 10, 2018). These
 include the minimal graphs , 
, 
 (Duke and Haggard 1972),
 the complete graph 
, the additional complete 
-partite graphs 
, 
, and 
, and the graph 
 (Mohar 1989). Some of these are summarized in the following
 table.

Duke and Haggard (1972; Harary et al. 1973) gave a criterion for the genus of all graphs on 8 and fewer vertices. Define the double-toroidal graphs
