contents We study the algebraic features of covariant tensors of valence four containing two blocks of skew indices. After a rather general treatment, we specialize ourselves to four-dimensional spacetimes and discuss several complementary aspects of these objects. In particular, we focus our attention on the corresponding invariant subspaces and generalise previous relations such as the Ruse-Lanczos identity, the Bel-Matte decomposition and the Lovelock-like quadratic identities. We conclude pointing out some possible applications of the formalism.
