One shows that the parent quasimolecular shape resonant states are a particular case of a new class of resonant states (NCRS) recently identified by the present authors. The properties of the quasimolecular states (energies, widths, rotational character, deviation from the linear dependence of the energy on l(l+1), doorway character, criteria for observability) result in a natural way from the general properties of this new-class of resonant states.
