Abstract

A theoretical overview of the exotic spectroscopy in the charm and beauty quark sector is presented. These states are unexpected harvest from the e+ee^+e^- and hadron colliders and a permanent abode for the majority of them has yet to be found. We argue that some of these states, in particular the Yb(10890)Y_b(10890) and the recently discovered states Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) and Zb(10650)Z_b(10650), discovered by the Belle collaboration are excellent candidates for tetraquark states [bq][bˉqˉ][bq][\bar{b}\bar{q}], with q=u,dq=u,d light quarks. Theoretical analyes of the Belle data carried out in the tetraquark context is reviewed.
