Abstract
The Lie procedure of finding the invariance algebra (group) of partial differential equations is generalized to the case of equations in superspace. The expressions for twice-prolonged infinitesimal operators in the superfield form are obtained. Within the frames of the approach the hidden symmetries of supersymmetric quantum mechanics are found.
