The length of the forewings is about 4 mm for males and 4–5 mm for females. The ground colour of the forewings is golden, suffused with black scales. The basal area is suffused with black and the antemedian line golden, with a black spot towards the median area at the costa. The postmedian line is also golden and the subterminal line is only visible as two pale yellow spots close to the apex and tornus.
Etymology
The species is named in honour of Michael Shaffer.[2]
gollark: Even better: I've already implemented it.
gollark: Wait, I have an idea - how about "UserCrafting"? The user gets out the items they want to use, then pushes a button to assemble the item, then uses a command to put it back into the system.
gollark: Well, this is complex and annoying.
gollark: Sort by available quantity?
gollark: If the user wants to use existing chests, they can get out existing chests.
