We study the mass splittings of Q1q2Q¯3q¯4 (Q=c, b, q=u, d, s) tetraquark states with chromomagnetic interactions between their quark components. Assuming that X(4140) is the lowest JPC=1++ csc¯s¯ tetraquark, we estimate the masses of the other tetraquark states. From the obtained masses and defined measure reflecting effective quark interactions, we find the following assignments for several exotic states: (1) both X(3860) and the newly observed Zc(4100) seem to be 0++ cnc¯n¯ tetraquarks; (2) Zc(4200) is probably a 1+ cnc¯n¯ tetraquark; (3) Zc(3900), X(3940), and X(4160) are unlikely compact tetraquarks; (4) Zc(4020) is unlikely a compact tetraquark, but seems the hidden-charm correspondence of Zb(10650) with JPC=1+; and (5) Zc(4250) can be a tetraquark candidate but the quantum numbers cannot be assigned at present. We hope further studies may check the predictions and assignments given here.
