We report spectroscopic observations of a new post-AGB star with WR spectrum not identified yet. This star was found during a southern spectroscopy survey of post-AGB candidates selected from Garcia-Lario et al. (\cite{Garc90}). This star, GLMP 160, shows the main characteristics of a [WC] spectrum with strong C III 4647, C IV 5808 and He II 4686. In addition the spectrum presents a strong [O III]5007 Å line. From the line ratio using the carbon lines and the measurements of FWHM we proposed that GLMP 160 has spectral characteristics of a [WC6-7] subtype. Here we present some of the main spectroscopic features and discuss the evolutionary status. We also present line intensities and equivalent widths of the identified lines.
Based on observations made with the 1.52 m telescope at the European Southern Observatory (La Silla, Chile) under the agreement with the Observatório Nacional, Brazil.
