Abyla haeckeli is a colonial siphonophore in the family Abylidae. It was described in 1908. [2]
The species has an anterior nectophore that is the same width and length but it does not provide wing functions. A transverse ridge separates the ventral facet from the apico-ventral facet. The posterior nectophore can have up to 5 teeth on one comb. It also has lateral ostial teeth that are closer to the dorsal tooth rather than the ventral teeth. [3]
The species has been reported near the Philippines and Japan in the upper parts of the water column. [4]
