The πh11/2⊗νh11/2 yrast band in the odd-odd nucleus 140Tb has been populated by the 92Mo (54Fe, αpn) reaction at 240-MeV incident beam energy. No previous spectroscopic information was known in this nucleus. The present data fit nicely in the systematics of the N= 75 isotones of La, Pr, Pm, Eu, and Tb (Z= 57 to 65)
