Tisamenus armadillo is a stick insect species (Phasmatodea) in the family Heteropterygidae, endemic to the Philippines.
[2][4] Both sexes show a broad, granular edge (carina) under the eyes, which are connected with three spines at the back of the head.
The supraanal plate, also known as the epiproct, which forms the upper portion of the ovipositor, is as long as the eighth segment and curves downward from the middle.
The micropylar plate forms approximately an isosceles triangle, with the micropyle in the middle of the lower side line.
[4] In 2001 Zompro retained the assignment of the species to Hoploclonia, but no longer mentioned it in 2003 and listed the Dresden type material as Tisamenus armadillo.
[3] While Redtenbacher in 1906 only gave the Philippines as the place of discovery,[2] Zompro in 2004 mentioned two specimens from Dresden that he examined, which were collected by W. Schultze in Burgos in the province of Ilocos Norte on the island of Luzon.
