Abstract: Let mathcalMg be the moduli space of compact connected hyperbolic surfaces of genus ggeq2, and mathcalBgsubsetmathcalMg its branch locus. Let widehatmathcalMg be the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of smooth, complete, connected surfaces of genus ggeq2 over mathbbC. The branch locus mathcalBg is stratified by smooth locally closed equisymmetric strata, where a stratum consists of hyperbolic surfaces with equivalent action of their preserving orientation isometry group. Any stratum can be determined by a certain epimorphism Phi. In this paper, for any of these strata, we describe the topological type of its limits points in widehatmathcalMg in terms of Phi. We apply our method to the 2-complex dimensional stratum corresponding to the pyramidal hyperbolic surfaces.
