A high-resolution ({sigma}{sub instr.}=1.5 MeV) search for narrow states ({gamma}<10 MeV) with masses of M{sub x}{approx_equal}1500-1850 MeV in ep{yields}e{sup '}K{sup +}X,e{sup '}K{sup -}X, and e{sup '}{pi}{sup +}X electroproduction at small angles and low Q{sup 2} was performed. These states would be candidate partner states of the reported {theta}{sup +}(1540) pentaquark. No statistically significant signal was observed in any of the channels at 90% C.L. Upper limits on forward production were determined to be between 0.8% and 4.9% of the {lambda}(1520) production cross section, depending on the channel and the assumed mass and width of the state.
