Abstract: Following the work of B. Kuelshammer, J. B. Olsson and G. R. Robinson on generalized blocks of the symmetric groups, we give a definition for the ell-defect of characters of the symmetric group S_n, where ell > 1 is an arbitrary integer. We prove that the ell -defect is given by an analogue of the hook-length formula, and use it to prove, when n < ell^2, an ell-version of the McKay Conjecture in S_n .
