Abstract: We report on time-resolved photometry of the superoutburst of a new SU UMa-type star, SDSS J013701.06-091234.9 in 2003 December-2004 January. The obtained lightcurves show superhumps with a period of 81.7 min, which is one of the shortest periods among known SU UMa-type stars. The fractional superhump excess is 0.025, slightly larger than that of TOADs. Spectroscopic observations provided evidence for TiO band, implying a peculiar nature of the system when taking into account the fact that there is almost no evidence for a secondary star among SU UMa stars with short orbital periods. We also derived a distance to J0137 to be about 300 pc.
