In this paper we prove that there is only one conjugacy class of dihedral group of order $2p$ in the $2\left( p\,-\,1 \right)\,\times \,2\left( p\,-\,1 \right)$ integral symplectic group that can be realized by an analytic automorphism group of compact connected Riemann surfaces of genus $p\,-\,1$. A pair of representative generators of the realizable class is also given.
