A Riemann surface $S$ is called parabolic if and only if there are no nonconstant negative subharmonic functions on $S$. From the Uniformization Theorem any Riemann surface can be thought as the quotient space of the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}$ by a Fuchsian group $\Gamma$, i.e. $S=\mathbb{H}/\Gamma$. Such surfaces admit a Riemannian metric of constant curvature. So, the Riemman surface $S$ is parabolic if and only if it satisfies one of the following conditions:

1. The behaviour of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of $S$ is ergodic;

2. The Poincaré series of $\Gamma$ diverges;

3. The Fuchsian group $\Gamma$ has the Mostow rigidity property;

4. The Riemann surface $S$ has the Bowen's property;

5. Almost every geodesic ray of $S$ is recurrent.

In a recent work, A. Basmajian, H. Hakobyan and D. Šaric´ have described sufficient condition to determinate the parabolicity of certain Riemann surface of infinite-type from the Fenchel-Nielsen conditions.

In this talk, we will use the Fenchel-Nielsen conditions and build geometrically a family (moduli space) conformed by tight flute surfaces (which are topologically equivalent to the infinite-type genus zero surface whose ends space is homeomorphic to the closure $\overline{\{1/n:n\in\mathbb{N}\}}$), such that each one of these is parabolic.
