The newly discovered comet P/2009 WX51 CATALINA, 
discovered as asteroid and saw as comet by Wise

http://www.minorplanetcenter.org/mpec/K10/K10GA5.html

has a Moid of 1.423.157 km, the orbit it's reliable,
observational arc of 132 days, then it's possible that it do origin
at a new meteor shower, too if the comet it's very little (nucleus of 
400 m of diameter?), the node it's around 21-22 April and the
comet was on it around only 41-42 days before! The speed of the 
meteors of this shower should be low-medium, the Moon it's new
the 14 April, then pay attention at a new radiant seeng the Lyrids!
Best greetings.
