Abstract: We study sequences $f_k:Sigm{a}_{k}o{R}^n$ of conformally immersed, compact Riemann surfaces with fixed genus and Willmore energy $calW(f)leqLambda$. Assume that $Sigm{a}_k$ converges to $Sigma$ in moduli space, i.e. $ph{i}_k^{a}st(Sigm{a}_k)oSigma$ as complex structures for diffeomorphisms $ph{i}_k$. Then we construct a branched conformal immersion $f:Sigmao{R}^n$ and M"obius transformations $sigm{a}_k$, such that for a subsequence $sigm{a}_{k}circ{f}_{k}circph{i}_{k}of$ weakly in $W_{loc}^{2,2}$ away from finitely many points. For $Lambda<8pi$ the map $f$ is unbranched. If the $Sigm{a}_k$ diverge in moduli space, then we show $limin{f}_{koinfty}calW(f_k)geqmin(8pi,omeg{a}_p^n)$. Our work generalizes results in cite{K-S3} to arbitrary codimension.
