Abstract
For an epimorphism of the free group on two generators onto a finite group G, one can associate a finite index subgroup of the automorphism group of the free group called the standard congruence subgroup. We calculate the index of this group when G is a non-abelian semi-direct product of cyclic groups of prime order.
