Abstract
New enhancements in the charmonium and bottomonium spectra observed since 2003 are very briefly reviewed. Special attention is paid to χc1(3872) (formerly X(3872)) owing to its remarkable proximity to the threshold, which allows modelling as a quasibound axial-vector state with a large admixture. In contrast, the interpretation of many other charmonium-like and bottomonium-like states is still very controversial and some may not even correspond to genuine resonances. Accordingly, several entries in the PDG tables have been wildly changing over the years. Three representative states are reviewed here as non-resonant enhancements due to threshold effects, viz. ψ(4260), ψ(4660), and ϒ(10580).
