We obtained optical spectra (range 3600-9200 Angs) of ASASSN-16ml/AT2016hpt (ATel #9697) and AT2016hmq/PS16esl (ATel #9686) on UT Oct. 31.0 with WFCCD mounted on the du Pont 2.5m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. The spectra of both objects show broad (FWHM ~ 10000 km/s) Balmer lines and are consistent with Type II SNe. The spectrum of ASASSN-16ml shows a blue continuum characteristic of a young SN. From narrow H-alpha and [O III] 5007 lines, we measure a redshift of z=0.0266 for GALEXASC J215436.98-425103.9, the host galaxy of ASASSN-16ml.
