We report on the spectroscopic observation of a new Wolf-Rayet star not already identified. This star is located in our Galaxy, in the Canis Majoris region and was found during a southern spectroscopic survey of stars previously identified as Hα emission objects. The star, SPH 2, after Schwartz, Persson & Hamann (1990), shows the main characteristics of a WN star and a strong C IV 5808 Å emission line typical of a WC star.
