We report on further evidence that the $Y(3940)$ and the recently observed $Y(4140)$ are heavy hadron molecule states with quantum numbers ${J}^{PC}={0}^{++}$. The $Y(3940)$ state is considered to be a superposition of ${D}^{*+}{D}^{*\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${D}^{*0}\overline{{D}^{*0}}$, while the $Y(4140)$ is a bound state of ${D}_{s}^{*+}$ and ${D}_{s}^{*\ensuremath{-}}$ mesons. For the first …
