Abstract: We prove a generalization of the Schwarz lemma for meromorphic functions $ f$ mapping the unit disk $ \mathbb{D}$ onto Riemann surfaces $ {\mathcal{R}}$ with bounded in mean radial distances from $ f(0)$ to the boundary of $ {\mathcal{R}}$. A new variant of the Schwarz lemma is also proved for the Carathèodory class of analytic functions having positive real part in $ \mathbb{D}$. Our results lead to several improved estimates for the hyperbolic metric.
