Origin of name
Michaelshaffera, a genus in the superfamily Pyraloidea, is almost certainly named for Michael Shaffer, the late lepidopterist who specialized in Pyraloidea, but I can't find a source explicitly stating this. Can anyone find a link and add it, or is the sum of the below sources sufficient, combined with the clear similarity in name between the genus and the scientist?

Shaffer is mentioned here, for example: http://www.socsercq.sark.gg/entomology.html

This newsletter mentions Shaffer's death on March 23, 2009, and his work with Pyraloidea: https://www.pyraloidea.org/assets/files/PyraloidPlanet_Vol3_2009.pdf RCTodd (talk) 15:56, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
