Tisamenus hebardi is a stick insect species (Phasmatodea), in the family of the Heteropterygidae endemic to the north of the Philippine island of Luzon.

The female used for the species description was collected by E. H. Taylor in July 1923 in Baguio in the province of Benguet and thus outside the actual Ilocos Region.

Sarah Bank et al proved by genetic analysis of a male collected in 2014 and deposited in the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels that Ilocano hebardi also belongs to Tisamenus.

[3] In October 2013, after ninety years of no further finds known apart from the holotype, Albert Kang and Thierry Heitzmann collected several specimens of both sexes during two collecting trip in the cloud forest near the summit of Mount Polis in the province of Ifugao at an altitude of approximately 2,000 metres (6,600 ft).

The breeding attempts carried out by Heitzmann in Manila in the refrigerator were just as unsuccessful as the efforts made by Bruno Kneubühler with adult specimens from the second collection trip sent to Switzerland.

In April 2014, Heitzmann led Joachim Bresseel and Jérôme Constant to the site on Mount Polis, where other specimens were found and brought alive to Europe.
