  A number of candidate multiquark hadrons, i.e., particle resonances with
substructures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark mesons and
three-quark baryons that are prescribed in the textbooks, have recently been
observed. In this talk I present: some recent preliminary BESIII results on the
near-threshold behavior of sigma(e+e- --> Lambda Lambda-bar) that may or may
not be related to multiquark mesons in the light- and strange-quark sectors;
results from Belle and LHCb on the electrically charged, charmoniumlike
Z(4430)^+ --> pi^+ psi ' resonance that necessarily has a four-quark
substructure; and the recent LHCb discovery of the P_c(4380) and P_c(4450)
hidden-charm resonances seen as a complex structure in the J/psi p invariant
mass distribution for Lambda_b --> K^-J/psi p decays and necessarily have a
five-quark substructure and are, therefore, prominent candidates for pentaquark
baryons.
