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." ??

@Lou Ann: colloquial speech would just say "trillizos". The context will tell that they're identical to one another.

Another term for "twins" is "cuates" (used only in Mexico, as far as I know)

David is right. Although we don't make much difference between "mellizos" and "gemelos", "cuates" is almost exclusively used for non-identical twins.
