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:
“The further our civilization advances upon its present lines so much the cheaper sort of thing does “fame” become, especially of the literary sort. This species of “fame” a waggish acquaintance says can be manufactured to order, and sometimes is so manufactured.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I know that some will have hard thoughts of me, when they hear their Christ named beside my Buddha, yet I am sure that I am willing they should love their Christ more than my Buddha, for the love is the main thing, and I like him too.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
