We report a spectroscopic classification of PSN J09265677-2446596
located at ra=09:26:56.77 dec=-24:46:59.6. A spectrum (range 460-1000
nm) was obtained robotically on May 08.35 UT with the FLOYDS
spectrograph at "Faulkes Telescope South" at Siding Springs.
Utilizing the Superfit SN spectral identification code (Howell et
al. 2005, ApJ, 634, 1190) we find it is a SN Ia a week or more before
maximum light, and is consistent with the host redshift at 0.007952.
