  In 2010, $\Lambda^*_{c\bar{c}}$ states were predicted as the strange number
$S=-1$ partners of $N^*_{c\bar{c}}$, which are well known now as the $P_c$
states and observed experimentally by LHCb Collaboration. We analyze the decay
behaviors of $\Lambda_{c\bar{c}}$ as S-wave hadronic molecules within the
effective Lagrangian framework by a similar method, which has been applied on
$P_c$ states successfully. With partial widths of possible decay channels
calculated, we find that $\Lambda_{c\bar{c}}(4213)$ and
$\Lambda_{c\bar{c}}(4403)$, which are formed as pseudoscalar meson baryon
molecules, mainly decay to the $\eta_c \Lambda$ channel. For the two vector
meson baryon molecule states, our results show that the total decay width with
$J^P=\frac12^-$ is by one order of magnitude larger than that with
$J^P=\frac32^-$. The decay patterns and relative decay ratios are very
different for $\Lambda_{c\bar{c}}(4370)$ being a $D_s^{* -} \Lambda_c^+$ or
$\bar{D}^{*} \Xi_c$ molecule state. The main decay channels of
$\Lambda_{c\bar{c}}(4550)$ are $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Xi^{(*,\prime)}_c$ because of
the pseudoscalar meson exchange mechanism. In addition, $\bar{D}^{*} \Xi_c$ is
the dominant decay channel of $\Lambda_{c\bar{c}}(4490)$ which is assumed as a
$\bar{D} \Xi_c^{*}$ bound state. These decay patterns of the
$\Lambda^*_{c\bar{c}}$ states would provide a guidance for their future
experimental searches and help us to understand their internal structures.
