The prediction for the width $Γ(ψ(1S)\to\ga η_C(1S))$ is in excellent agreement with the new data but the prediction for $Γ(ψ(2S)\to\ga η_C(1S))$ is too small. In an effort to understand this discrepancy, we derive an upper bound on $Γ(ψ(2S)\to\ga η_C(1S))$ and point out its experimental value saturates this bound.Corrected typos, addeded referenceHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentNote on recent measurements of the $ψ(1S)\to\ga η_C(1S)$ and $ψ(2S)\to\ga η_C(1S)$ branching ratiostext
