The evolution of the structure of the gamma-vibrational band head 2+ γ in well-deformed rare-earth nuclei is studied within the framework of RPA calculations using a quasiboson approximation based on the Nilsson model. The obtained evolution of the quasiparticle structure of the gamma-vibrational band head is shown to correlate well with the evolution of the same nuclei within the IBA symmetry triangle when described in the extended consistent-Q formalism. An empirical relation is presented that links the IBA parameter χ with the quasiparticle structure of the gamma-vibrational band head.
