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:
“Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“We named you Joy.
I, who was never quite sure
about being a girl, needed another
life, another image to remind me.
And this was my worst guilt; you could not cure
nor soothe it. I made you to find me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
