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.
