We report the classification of AT 2019yvr (ATLAS19benc) from spectroscopic observations with the Goodman spectrograph on the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope. The target was supplied by ATLAS. The observation was made on 2019 December 29 UT. The classification was performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).

 
Name         | IAU Name  | RA (J2000)  | Dec (J2000)  |   z   | Type  | Phase  | Notes
ATLAS19benc | AT2019yvr | 12:45:08.13 | -00:27:32.66 | 0.005 | Ib | -5 d | (1)

Notes: When the redshift is given to 2 decimal places, it is derived from the SN spectrum. Otherwise, the redshift is determined from the host galaxy. (1) Good fits with many SNe Ib spectra, particularly with SN 2005bf, a few days before maximum light.

We thank the SOAR staff and the director, Jay Elias, for helping with this target-of-opportunity observation.
