The intermediate structure of the fission resonances has been observed in 240Pu. A resonance structure found around the excitation energy of 4.5 MeV was interpreted as a group of K\pi =0+ superdeformed rotational bands. The moments of inertia and level density distributions were also deduced for the individually observed band-heads.
