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:
“Heaven and hell suppose two distinct species of men, the good and the bad. But the greatest part of mankind float betwixt vice and virtue.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“We were hospitably entertained in Concord, New Hampshire, which we persisted in calling New Concord, as we had been wont, to distinguish it from our native town, from which we had been told that it was named and in part originally settled. This would have been the proper place to conclude our voyage, uniting Concord with Concord by these meandering rivers, but our boat was moored some miles below its port.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
