A new superdeformed band has been identified in {sup 191}Hg bringing the total number of bands observed in this nucleus to four. The new band has properties similar to those of a superdeformed band reported recently in {sup 193}Hg. Both bands are believed to be built on the unfavored signature of the {ital j}{sub 15/2} intruder configuration. Comparisons between the data and cranked Woods-Saxon calculations highlight the strengths and weaknesses of theory in describing high-{ital N} orbitals at large deformation.
