Etymology Not specifically stated in the original description. The specific epithet bulbosa (masculine: bulbosus) is a Latin adjective meaning 'bulbous' or 'bearing bulbs', and refers presumably to the shape of the posterior branchiae, which are described as being "foliaceous to bulbous, tapering abruptly to a long terminal filament" (Hartley, 1984: 13).

Habitat Type of sediment not stated, at shallow shelf depths. [details]
Taxonomic remark Allia Strelzov, 1973 is preoccupied by Allia Walker, 1868 in Lepidoptera [see reference at BHL HERE], and was replaced by the new name Strelzovia by Aguirrezabalaga (2012). This way, all 'Allia' names are replaced by 'Strelzovia' including those yet to have usages in print under 'Strelzovia'. [details]
