An attempt is made to fit the symmetries of the currently observed elementary‐particle spectrum into the structure of finite or disconnected subgroups of SU3. Surprisingly, the detailed properties of these subgroups have not been elucidated previously. As a first step, therefore, character tables and other relevant properties are derived for these groups. Next, the classification of elementary particles is made on the basis of the representations of the groups discussed. The techniques previously employed by Case, Karplus, and Yang for the application of finite subgroups of SU2 to isotopic spin are extended to the subgroups of SU3. The structure of SU3 is utilized to suggest how charge and hypercharge operators are to be assigned in the subgroups. The results obtained are similar to those of SU2 and isotopic spin. There is an upper limit, for any given group, to the dimension of the irreducible representation. For some of the groups considered, these upper limits are eight and even ten. There exist finite...
