There is a puzzle in the Λc+ family, i.e., one member with JP=3/2+ is missing in a L=2 multiplet which the heavy quark effective theory predicts, and JP's of Λc(2765)+ and Λc(2940)+ are unknown. Using a light diquark picture to calculate baryon masses, we study possible assignments of two Λc's with unknown JP and the missing Λc+ with 3/2+ for L=2, and we find the most probable possibility that the peak corresponding to Λc(2880)+ actually includes a missing member with spin 3/2+ for L=2 and that quantum numbers of Λc(2765)+ and Λc(2940)+ are 2S(1/2+) and 2P(1/2−), respectively.
