In the paper [On superspecial abelian surfaces over finite fields II. J. Math. Soc. Japan, 72(1):303--331, 2020], Tse-Chung Yang and the first two current authors computed explicitly the number $lvert mathrm{SSp}_2(mathbb{F}_q)rvert$ of isomorphism classes of superspecial abelian surfaces over an arbitrary finite field $mathbb{F}_q$ of even degree over the prime field $mathbb{F}_p$. There it was assumed that certain commutative $mathbb{Z}_p$-orders satisfy an etale condition that excludes the primes $p=2, 3, 5$. We treat these remaining primes in the present paper, where the computations are more involved because of the ramifications. This completes the calculation of $lvert mathrm{SSp}_2(mathbb{F}_q)rvert$ in the even degree case. The odd degree case was previous treated by Tse-Chung Yang and the first two current authors in [On superspecial abelian surfaces over finite fields. Doc. Math., 21:1607--1643, 2016]. Along the proof of our main theorem, we give the classification of lattices over local quaternion Bass orders, which is a new input to our previous works.
