I. Lapshov, F. Lazzarotto, L. Pacciani, M. Rapisarda, P. Soffitta, 
for the SuperAGILE team, report:

The Fermi GRB 110721A (GCN 12187, 12188) was also observed by
AGILE MCAL and SuperAGILE (but outside the coded field of view 
of SuperAGILE), INTEGRAL SPI-ACS, Konus-Wind, and MESSENGER GRNS.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary 3 sigma error box whose 
area is 2250 square arcminutes, and whose coordinates are:

Center: RA=332.456 o = 22 h 09 m 49 s  DEC=-38.628 o = -38 o 37 ' 40 "
Corners:  333.674=22 h 14 m 42 s    -38.570=-38 o 34 '  13 "     
          331.191=22 h 04 m 46 s    -38.964=-38 o 57 '  49 "     
          333.709=22 h 14 m 50 s    -38.241=-38 o 14 '  26 "     
          331.240=22 h 04 m 58 s    -38.641=-38 o 38 '  28 "

This error box intersects the LAT error circle to form a joint
error box whose area is approximately 1200 square arcminutes.
A map is posted at ssl.berkeley.edu/ipn3/110721.

The counterpart candidate reported by Greiner et al. (GCN 12192)
lies just outside the IPN error box, making it unlikely that it is
related to the GRB.
