Another laser-induced resonant transition in the v=n{minus}l{minus}1=2 metastable cascade of antiprotonic {sup 4}He atoms has been found by using a double-resonance technique. This was done by setting the first laser to the already known 470.724-nm resonance [(n,l)=(37,34){r_arrow}(36,33)], while the (38,35){r_arrow}(37,34) transition was searched for with the second laser. The resonant transition was found at a wavelength of 529.622{plus_minus}0.003 nm, showing excellent agreement with a recent prediction of Korobov. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
