Abstract: We point out that the moduli spaces of all known 3d

m a t h c a l N =

8 and

m a t h c a l N =

6 SCFTs, after suitable gaugings of finite symmetry groups, have the form

m a t h b b C^{4 r} / G a m m a

where

G a m m a

is a real or complex reflection group depending on whether the theory is

m a t h c a l N =

8 or

m a t h c a l N =

6, respectively. Real reflection groups are either dihedral groups, Weyl groups, or two sporadic cases

H_{3, 4}

. Since the BLG theories and the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories correspond to dihedral and Weyl groups, it is strongly suggested that there are two yet-to-be-discovered 3d

m a t h c a l N =

8 theories for

H_{3, 4}

. We also show that all known

m a t h c a l N =

6 theories correspond to complex reflection groups collectively known as

G (k, x, N)

. Along the way, we demonstrate that two ABJM theories

(S U (N)_{k} i m e s S U (N)_{- k}) / m a t h b b Z_{N}

and

(U (N)_{k} i m e s U (N)_{- k}) / m a t h b b Z_{k}

are actually equivalent.
