Abstract
In this short note, we comment on the existence of two more fermionic unitary minimal models not included in recent work by Hsieh, Nakayama, and Tachikawa. These theories are obtained by fermionizing the ℤ2 symmetry of the m = 11 and m = 12 exceptional unitary minimal models. Furthermore, we explain why these are the only missing cases.
