The high-spin states of {sup 141}Pm have been investigated through the reaction {sup 126}Te({sup 19}F,4n) at a beam energy of 90 MeV. A previous level scheme has been updated with spins up to 49/2({h_bar}/2{pi}). Six collective bands at high spins are newly observed. Based on the systematic comparison, one band is proposed as a decoupled band; two bands with strong {Delta}I=1 M1 transitions inside the bands are suggested as the oblate bands with {gamma} {approx}-60 deg.; three other bands with large signature splitting have been proposed with the oblate-triaxial deformation with {gamma}{approx} -90 deg. The triaxial n-particle-n-hole particle rotor model calculations for one of the oblate bands in {sup 141}Pm are in good agreement with the experimental data. The other characteristics for these bands have been discussed.
