Let E(s, Q) be the Epstein zeta function attached to a positive definite quadratic form of discriminant D < 0, such that h(D) ≥ 2, where h(D) is the class number of the imaginary quadratic field
${{\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt D)}$
. We denote by N
E
(σ1, σ2, T) the number of zeros of E(s, Q) in the rectangle σ1 < Re(s) ≤ σ2 and T ≤ Im (s) ≤ 2T, where 1/2 < σ1 < σ2 < 1 are fixed real numbers. In this paper, we improve the asymptotic formula of Gonek and Lee for N
E
(σ1, σ2, T), obtaining a saving of a power of log T in the error term.
