Abstract: Let

H^{n + 1}

denote the

n + 1

-dimensional (real) hyperbolic space. Let

s^{n}

denote the conformal boundary of the hyperbolic space. The group of conformal diffeomorphisms of

s^{n}

is denoted by

M (n)

. Let

M_{o} (n)

be its identity component which consists of all orientation-preserving elements in

M (n)

. The conjugacy classification of isometries in

M_{o} (n)

depends on the conjugacy of

T

and

T^{- 1}

in

M_{o} (n)

. For an element

T

in

M (n)

,

T

and

T^{- 1}

are conjugate in

M (n)

, but they may not be conjugate in

M_{o} (n)

. In the literature,

T

is called real if

T

is conjugate in

M_{o} (n)

to

T^{- 1}

. In this paper we classify real elements in

M_{o} (n)

. Let

T

be an element in

M_{o} (n)

. Corresponding to

T

there is an associated element

T_{o}

in

S O (n + 1)

. If the complex conjugate eigenvalues of

T_{o}

are given by

e^{i h e t a_{j}}, e^{- i h e t a_{j}}

,

0 < h e t a_{j} l e q p i

,

j = 1, ..., k

, then

h e t a_{1}, ..., h e t a_{k}

are called the emph{rotation angles} of

T

. If the rotation angles of

T

are distinct from each-other, then

T

is called a emph{regular} element. After classifying the real elements in

M_{o} (n)

we have parametrized the conjugacy classes of regular elements in

M_{o} (n)

. In the parametrization, when

T

is not conjugate to

T^{- 1}

, we have enlarged the group and have considered the conjugacy class of

T

in

M (n)

. We prove that each such conjugacy class can be induced with a fibration structure.
