A prediction study for the not yet discovered 
and 
meson states of the 
quantum numbers is conducted, denoted as 
and 
, respectively. By employing our method, both states of ground and excited vector mesons are considered, which predominantly correspond to the ground state vector mesons with quantum numbers 
and to the orbitally excited vector mesons with quantum numbers 
. The considered method depends on the difference in the masses for the relevant states from orbitally and ground state vector mesons. Theoretical calculations are in good agreements with newly published data.
