Let \(\mathbb{H}\) be the skew field of quaternions over \(\mathbb{R}\) and \(V\) be a right \(n\)-dimensional linear space over \(\mathbb{H}\). All finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{GL}(V)\) generated by reflections have been classified by \textit{A.~M. Cohen} in [J. Algebra 64, 293--324 (1980; Zbl 0433.20035)]. Aiming at the extension to the quaternion case of the classification of the discrete groups generated by affine Hermitian reflections, which was obtained by \textit{V. L. Popov} in [Commun. Math. Inst., Rijksuniv. Utrecht 15, 89 p. (1982; Zbl 0481.20030)], we arrive at the problem of describing, up to homothety (i.e. up to multiplication by a nonzero element of \(\mathbb{H}\)), the lattices in \(V\) (i.e. free subgroups of rank \(4n\) in the additive group of \(V\)) that are invariant with respect to the finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{GL}(V)\) generated by reflections. In this note, such a description is given for \(n=1\). Thus, the lattices in one-dimensional quaternionic linear space that invariant with respect to finite linear groups have been obtained.
