Aims: ``Compact ellipticals'' are so rare that a search for M32 analogs isneeded to ensure the very existence of this class. Methods: We report here thediscovery of A496cE, a M32 twin in the cluster Abell 496, located in the haloof the central cD. Results: Based on CFHT and HST imaging we show that thelight profile of A496cE requires a two component fit: a Sersic bulge and anexponential disc. The spectrum of A496cE obtained with the ESO-VLTFLAMES/Giraffe spectrograph can be fit by a stellar synthesis spectrumdominated by old stars, with high values of [Mg/Fe] and velocity dispersion.Conclusions: The capture of A496cE by the cD galaxy and tidal stripping of mostof its disc are briefly discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in A&A Letter
