For an elliptic curve E over \(\mathbb {Q}\) without complex multiplication, the Lang–Trotter conjecture is that \( \# \{ p<X \mid E \text { has a supersingular reduction at } p \} \sim \frac{c \sqrt{X}}{\log X} \) as \(X \rightarrow \infty \) , where \(c>0\) is a constant depending only on E. Fouvry and Murty obtained an average estimation related to the Lang–Trotter conjecture, called the Lang–Trotter conjecture on average. We consider the Lang–Trotter conjecture for curves of genus 2 and obtain a similar result to the Lang–Trotter conjecture on average for the family of curves \(C_{\lambda }:y^2=x(x-1)(x+1)(x-{\lambda })(x-1/ \lambda )\) . These curves are characterized as curves of genus two with a reduced automorphism group containing the Klein 4-group.
