Belle report data on ϒ(5S)→ϒ(1S, 2S, 3S)π+π− and χb(1P, 2P)π+π−; they observe peaks in ϒπ± and χbπ± consistent with JP=1+. They interpret the peaks as molecular states Zb(10608) and Zb(10653). Their masses are just above and
thresholds at 10604.6 and 10650.2 MeV. An explanation in terms of cusps at these thresholds is presented here. The product of the rising phase space for
and
with the cusps creates peaks a few MeV higher in
and
, and these peaks can de-excite to π+π−ϒ(1S, 2S, 3S) and π+π−χb(1P, 2P).
