Abstract
We suggest that (4040) and (4160) are strong mixtures of ground state hybrid charmonium at GeV and the of conventional charmonium. The , masses and total widths of the and are in accord with this hypothesis. Their hadronic decays are predicted to be dominated by the component and hence are correlated. In particular we find a spin counting relation due to their common component. For and production, using branching ratios as input, we predict that the decay pattern of the will be very different from that of the . These predictions may be tested in historical data from SPEAR, BES or at future Tau-Charm Factories.
