Using new experimental data on photoproduction and Λb0 decays, we derive constraints on the properties of the LHCb Pc states. We conclude that Pc(4312), Pc(4380) and Pc(4440) can be described as ΣcDˉ, Σc∗Dˉ and ΣcDˉ∗ molecules, but that Pc(4457) does not fit into the same picture. Based on the apparent absence of additional partner states, and the striking disparity between Λc+Dˉ0 and Λc+Dˉ∗0 decays, we conclude that Pc(4440) has 3/2− quantum numbers. Using heavy-quark symmetry we predict large experimental signals for Pc states in ηcpK−, Λc+Dˉ∗0K−, and Σc(∗)DˉK−. We also argue that current experimental data on photoproduction is almost at the level of sensitivity required to observe Pc states.
