High-spin states in 165Hf, populated in the 13~176 5n) reaction, were investigated using the Berkeley HERA 7-ray spectrometer array. The previously known level scheme of 165Hf is appreciably extended. Intrinsic configurations, band crossing frequencies and aligned angular momenta are interpreted within the frame-work of the cranked shell model. It is suggested that the alignments of the second neutron pair and of the first proton pair in ~65Hf occur at tacos0.44 MeV and g0.48 MeV, respectively. The systematic trend of these alignment frequencies for the Hf isotopes and for the N= 93 isotones is discussed. * Present address: Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, 9747 AA
