Spectra of highly charged Mo ions generated in a laser-produced plasma were observed from 10 to 190 A with a 3 m grazing- incidence spectrograph. Line identifications in Mo XXX-- XXXII were made with the help of relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations. In Mo XXXI (Mg-like) the 3s/sup 2/ /sup 1/S/sub 0/--3s3p /sup 1/P/sub 1/ resonance line was found to be at 115.944 A. In Mo XXXII (Na-like) the 3s /sup 2/S/sub 1/2/--3p /sup 2/P/sub 3/2,1/2/ resonance lines are at 127.814 and 176.62 A. These values support the recent identifications of these lines in the Princeton ST tokamak by Hinnov. The density-sensitive 3p /sup 2/P/sub 3/2/--3d /sup 2/D/sub 5/2/ transition in Mo XXXII is at 126.937 A. At shorter wavelengths, the 3s--4p transitions of Mo XXXII are at 14.384 and 14.565 A.
