Phoneutria depilata is considered Panama´s most relevant spider species due to its aggressivity and venom. In this article, we described a case of P. depilata bite in a woman from Bocas del Toro Province, Panama. The symptoms included severe pain, swelling in the bite site, palpitation of submandibular ganglia, abundant salivation, tachycardia, and a sensation of "electricity". The swelling and pain lasted almost two days and three days, respectively. In addition, we present the geographical distribution of this spider species in Panama.
