We obtained an optical spectrum (range 370-880 nm) of SN 2017dkb (=PTSS-17slg), discovered by the PMO-Tsinghua Supernova Survey (PTSS, http://www.cneost.org/ptss/ ), on UT Apr.30.81 2017 with the 2.4 m telescope (LJT + YFOSC) at LiJiang Gaomeigu Observatory of Yunnan Observatories (YNAO). The spectrum is consistent with that of a type II-P supernova at 2-3 weeks after the maximum light. Cross-correlation
with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) shows that it matches with SN 2006bp at t = +20 days from the maximum light. After correcting for a redshift of 0.016 (from the SNID fit) for its host galaxy 2MASX J18140283+2153135, an expansion velocity of about 10300 km/s can be derived from the absorption
minimum of Ha line. The classification spectrum is also posted on the IAU Transient Name Sever: http://wis-tns.weizmann.ac.il/object/2017dkb/
