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]). 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 
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.
Key words: stars: emission line, [WC]-stars
