These Thurston maps are NET maps for every choice of translation term. They have degree 16. In fact, they are Euclidean. PURE MODULAR GROUP HURWITZ EQUIVALENCE CLASSES FOR TRANSLATIONS {0,lambda1,lambda2,lambda1+lambda2} This pure modular group Hurwitz class contains infinitely many Thurston equivalence classes. The number of pure modular group Hurwitz classes in this modular group Hurwitz class is 2.
