Abstract: A Howe curve is a curve of genus $4$ obtained as the fiber product over $mathbf{P}^1$ of two elliptic curves. Any Howe curve is canonical. This paper provides an efficient algorithm to find superspecial Howe curves and that to enumerate their isomorphism classes. We discuss not only an algorithm to test the superspeciality but also an algorithm to test isomorphisms for Howe curves. Our algorithms are much more efficient than conventional ones proposed by the authors so far for general canonical curves. We show the existence of a superspecial Howe curve in characteristic $7<ple331$ and enumerate the isomorphism classes of superspecial Howe curves in characteristic $ple53$, by executing our algorithms over the computer algebra system Magma.
