Abstract: Genus two curves covering elliptic curves have been the object of study of many articles. For a fixed degree $n$ the subloci of the moduli space $mathcal{M}_2$ of curves having a degree $n$ elliptic subcover has been computed for $n=3,5$ and discussed in detail for $n$ odd; see cite{Sh1, SV2, Fr, FK}. When the degree of the cover is even the case in general has been treated in cite{PRS}. In this paper we compute the sublocus of $mathcal{M}_2$ of curves having a degree 4 elliptic subcover.
