The formal definition of heterotic fractional supersymmetries (FS) (Q(-1/k)
)(k) = P-1 is studied. Viewing FS as a finite dimensional subalgebras of th
e ZF and Tye et al. FSC invariances, we propose more rigorous definitions o
f these subalgebras. The Z(3) and Z(4) ZF parafermionic symmetries and the
Level k = 4 Tye et al, ones are studied in details. Known results such as t
he Leclair and Vafa fractional superalgebras are obtained as special cases.
