Abstract
Let be a genus superelliptic curve, its field of moduli, and the minimal field of definition. In this short note we construct an equation of the curve over its minimal field of definition when has extra automorphisms. We make use of the dihedral invariants of superelliptic curves as defined by Shaska in [6] and results on the automorphism groups of superelliptic curves as in [10].
