Abstract: It is well known that the collection of uniformizations of a closed Riemann surface $S$ is partially ordered; the lowest ones are the Schottky unformizations, that is, tuples $(Omega,Gamma,P:OmegaoS)$, where $Gamma$ is a Schottky group with region of discontinuity $Omega$ and $P:OmegaoS$ is a regular holomorphic cover map with $Gamma$ as its deck group. Let $au:SoS$ be a conformal (respectively, anticonformal) automorphism of $S$ of finite order $n$, and let $(Omega,Gamma,P:OmegaoS)$ be a Schottky uniformization of $S$. Assume that $au$ lifts with respect to the previous Schottky uniformization, that is, there exists a M"obius (respectively, extended M"obius) transformation $kappa$, keeping $Omega$ invariant, with $Pcirckappa=aucircP$. The Kleinian (respectively, extended Kleinian) group $K=<Gamma,kappa>$ contains $Gamma$ as a finite index normal subgroup and $K/Gammacong{mathbbZ}_n$. We provide a structural picture of $K$ in terms of the Klein-Maskit's combination theorems and some basic groups. Some consequences are (i) the determination of the number of topologically different types of such groups (fixed $n$ and the rank of the Schottky normal subgroup) and (ii) for $n$ prime, the number of normal Schottky normal subgroups, up to conjugacy, that $K$ has.
