The pencil of Kuribayashi-Komiya quartics x4 + y4 + z4 + t(x2y2 + x2z2 + y2z2)=0 where t ∈ ℂis a complex one-dimensional family of Riemann surfaces of genus three endowed with a group of automorphisms isomorphic to the symmetric group of order twenty-four. This pencil has been extensively studied from different points of view. This paper is aimed at studying, for each prime number p \geqslant 5, the pencil of generalised Kuribayashi-Komiya curves Fp, given by the curves x2p+y2p+z2p+t(xp yp +xp zp +yp zp)=0 where t ∈ ℂ.We determine the full automorphism group G of each smooth member X ∈ Fp and study the action of G and of its subgroups on X. In particular, we show that no member of the pencil is hyperelliptic. As a by-product, we derive a classification of all those Riemann surfaces of genus (p-1)(2p-1) that are endowed with a group of automorphisms isomorphic to the full automorphism group of the generic smooth member of Fp.
