S. Valenti and S. Benetti, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, on behalf of a larger collaboration, report that a spectrogram (range 330-750 nm; resolution 1.5 nm) of PSN J20062026-4245581 = SN 2011dr, obtained on June 26.40 UT with the European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope (+ EFOSC), is that of a type-IIP supernova. After cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra via the "GELATO" code (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383; available at website URL https://gelato.tng.iac.es/login.cgi), the spectrum of SN 2011dr appears to be very similar to that of SN 1999gi (Leonard et al. 2002, A.J. 124, 2490) at one month after explosion.
