Argentina (1969)

Date of issue: August 9th, 1969
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/5

This series is a little far fetched. I have included it because among the figures shown, there is an arachnologist that contributed several articles on opiliones, solifugids and spiders, Dr. Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg born in Buenos Aires on June 26, 1852.

Argentina (2009)

Date of issue: July 25th, 2009
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/2

The second and more recent issue from Argentina is quite interesting as it shows a species that was originally described by Holmberg (originally described as Ocypete pythagorica), a nice continuation from the previous series.
