contents We consider the primitive quaternionic reflection groups of type P for H^2 that are obtained from Blichfeldt's collineation groups for C^4.These are seen to be intimately related to the maximal set of five quaternionic mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in H2 , for which they are symmetries. From these groups, we construct other interesting sets of lines that they fix, including a new quaternionic spherical 3-design of 16 lines in H^2 with angles {1/5,3/5}, which meets the special bound. Some interesting consequences of this investigation include finding imprimitive quaternionic reflection groups with several systems of imprimitivity, and finding a nontrivial reducible subgroup which has a continuous family of eigenvectors.
