Four specimens of Phoneutria bahiensis Simó & Brescovit 2001 were identified amongst material of a faunal rescue carried out in Itapebi county, southern Bahia. This record enhances the geographic distribution of the species, since to date, the literature restricts the occurrence of P. bahiensis only to the city of Ilhéus and Salvador.
