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:
““If Steam has done nothing else, it has at least added a whole new Species to English Literature ... the booklets—the little thrilling romances, where the Murder comes at page fifteen, and the Wedding at page forty—surely they are due to Steam?”
“And when we travel by electricity—if I may venture to develop your theory—we shall have leaflets instead of booklets, and the Murder and the Wedding will come on the same page.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
Loved the wood rose, and left it on its stalk?
At rich men’s tables eaten bread and pulse?
Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
