Species Named After Ethelwynn Trewavas
Many fellow ichthyologists honoured Trewavas by naming newly-discovered species after her. Even during her lifetime, more fish species had received the specific epithet trewavasae ("of Trewavas") or ethelwynnae ("of Ethelwynn") than were named after most other modern fish researchers, underscoring the importance of her contribution to the field:
- Eustomias trewavasae
- Glyptothorax trewavasae
- Petrochromis trewavasae
- Symphurus trewavasae
- Garra trewavasai
- Labeotropheus trewavasae
- Garra ethelwynnae
- Neolebias trewavasae
- Atrobucca trewavasae
- Protosciaena trewavasae
- Linophryne trewavasae
- Gobiocichla ethelwynnae
- Phenacostethus trewavasae
- Aulonocara ethelwynnae
- Tylochromis trewavasae
- Triplophysa trewavasae
- Johnius trewavasae
- Rhynchoconger trewavasae
- Trewavasia carinata
After her death, the memory of her contributions remained. Posthumous honorific names are, as of 2009:
- Copadichromis trewavasae
- Etia
- Placidochromis trewavasae

Famous quotes containing the words species and/or named:
“There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
