Tisamenus hystrix is a stick insect species (Phasmatodea), in the family of the Heteropterygidae endemic to the Philippines.

The segments two to five of the abdomen are occupied in the posterior area with central and paired lateral spines.

Both are now considered paratypes and, like the holotype, were collected by Baker in Sibulan in southern Negros.

[1] Only Oliver Zompro placed the species together with all other Philippine representatives of Hoploclonia in the genus Tisamenus.

The species is not as productive as the other breeding stocks of Tisamenus, but like them it can be fed with forage plants such as bramble and hazel.
