From the internet: "TRILLIZOS GEMELARES IDENTICOS" NACEN UNO CADA 200 MILLONES DE PERSONAS
NACIERON EL 17 DE OCTUBRE DE 2007

Note the tautology.

Seriously, I teach a sibling group that includes a set of identical triplets. They have no discernible physical difference (they can't even tell you how to tell themselves apart). (They come to me with an older sister.) All three of the triplets have the same first name as well (they go by their middle names), but the gradebook and attendance software only accepts first names and does not show middle names. Talk about the teacher getting confused on a regular basis.

Anyway - if you are talking about non-identical triplets, it would be "trillizos", but if they're identical you would say "trillizos gemelares identicos"?

"Tengo trillizos gemelares identicos en uno de mis clases." ??
