A compact Riemann surface X of genus g > 1 is said to be p-hyperelliptic if X admits a conformal involution ϱ, called a p-hyperelliptic involution, for which X/ϱ is an orbifold of genus p. If in addition X admits a q-hypereliptic involution then we say that X is pq-hyperelliptic. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on p,q and g for existence of a pq-hyperelliptic Riemann surface of genus g. Moreover we give some conditions under which p- and q-hyperelliptic involutions of a pq-hyperelliptic Riemann surface commute or are unique.
