From images taken on 2012 June 20.36 with the TAROT La Silla telescope A. Klotz report the discovery of a supernova candidate located at R.A. = 19h06m51.65s, Decl. = -61o42'16.3" (equinox 2000.0), which is offset of 6" E and 12" S from the nucleus of IC 4815. The image was R filtered and magnitude was R~19.

The presence of the candidate is confirmed on two images taken on 2012 June 26.34 with the same telescope. R=17.6.

The candidate is not detected in images taken by TAROT on 2012 June 08.34 (limiting magnitude R=20).

One must notice that another supernova (2011fm) was discovered in IC 4815 less than one year ago by Parker (CBET 2807).
