In this paper ,the K symmetry and τ symmetry for the super Dirac hierarchy ,which is associated with a 3 × 3 Lax pair ,are found by using the hereditary operator φ .Moreover ,the Lie algebra construction of the symmetries for any one equation of the hierarchy is de‐rived .Specially ,by contrast the symmetry and Lie algebra construction for the super AKNS hierarchy and AKNS hierarchy ,we found the super AKNS hierarchy and AKNS hierarchy have uniform symmetry and Lie algebra construction .
