All symmetries of the massless Dirac equation in Minkowski space are obtained by explicitly solving the conformal versions of the Killing, Penrose-Floyd, and Yano equations. In an arbitrary curved four-space, it is also shown that the dual of a conformal Yano tensor is a conformal Killing vector and that the set of conformal Penrose-Floyd tensors is stable under the dual map.
