Abstract: We prove that there are exactly $149$ genus two curves $C$ defined over $\mathbb{Q} $ such that there exists a nonconstant morphism $\pi:X_1(N)\rightarrow C$ defined over $\mathbb{Q} $ and the jacobian of $C$ is $\mathbb{Q} $-isogenous to the abelian variety $A_f$ attached by Shimura to a newform $f\in S_2(\Gamma_1(N))$. We determine the corresponding newforms and present equations for all these curves.
