We obtained a spectrum of PSN J22151967-6532534, discovered by Peter Marples (BOSS) and posted on the CBAT TOCP, on 2015 August 19.4 UT with the robotic FLOYDS instrument mounted on the Faulkes Telescope South. Using SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), we find a good fit to the normal Type Ia SN 1999ee 9 days before maximum light at the redshift of the proposed host galaxy (z=0.010; Ramella, Focardi, & Geller 1996, A&A, 312, 745 via NED).
