In this work we study several and states dynamically generated from the meson–baryon interaction in coupled channels, using an extension of the local hidden gauge approach in the Bethe–Salpeter equation. These molecular states appear as poles of the scattering amplitudes, and several of them can be identified with the experimentally observed states, including the 
, 
, 
, 
and 
. Also, for the recently reported 
state, we find two poles with masses and widths remarkably close to the experimental data, for both the 
and 
sectors.
