New LHCb Collaboration results on pentaquarks with hidden charm 1 are discussed. These results fit nicely in the hadrocharmonium pentaquark scenario.[Formula: see text] In the new data the old LHCb pentaquark [Formula: see text] splits into two states [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We interpret these two almost degenerated hadrocharmonium states with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], as a result of hyperfine splitting between hadrocharmonium states predicted in Ref. 2. It arises due to QCD multipole interaction between color-singlet hadrocharmonium constituents. We improve the theoretical estimate of hyperfine splitting[Formula: see text] that is compatible with the experimental data. The new [Formula: see text] state finds a natural explanation as a bound state of [Formula: see text] and a nucleon, with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and binding energy 42 MeV. As a bound state of a spin-[Formula: see text] meson and a nucleon, hadrocharmonium pentaquark [Formula: see text] does not experience hyperfine splitting. We find a series of hadrocharmonium states in the vicinity of the wide [Formula: see text] pentaquark that can explain its apparently large decay width. We compare the hadrocharmonium and molecular pentaquark scenarios and discuss their relative advantages and drawbacks.
