Abstract The conditions for the existence of solutions ofD µη=±cγµη are discussed. In general, it is not sufficient to consider only the first integrability condition [D µ,D v ]η=−2c 2γ{µv}η; in particular, the second integrability condition is needed to explain why, in certain cases, only for one choice of sign does a solution exist. The Killing spinor-tensors, as defined by Walker and Penrose, are shown to be the spinorial equivalent of conformal Killing tensors. Their relationship to the Killing spinors and spinor-vectors used in supergravity, is given.
