The new transient source IGRJ16465-4507 was detected with the ISGRI detector of the IBIS telescope of the INTEGRAL observatory on 6-7 Sept., 2004. The best position derived from our analysis is RA=16h46.5m and DEC=-45o07.5m (equinox 2000, preliminary uncertainty ~2.5'). IGR J16465-4507 is therefore ~16 arcmin from the INTEGRAL source IGR J16479-4514, which was also detected at the same time.

The new source was detected by IBIS/ISGRI with a flux of 8.8+/-0.9 mCrab in the 18-60 keV energy band. A strong flare with an average flux of ~28 mCrab in the same energy band was observed from the source on Sept. 7 UT 12:00. It then decayed back to the pre flare value after this episode.

We encourage follow up observations at various wavelengths.
