Type species: Andecladodes cosangensis sp. nov..

Diagnosis: Antennomere I stout with a small horn as long as half of antennomere width, length of antennomeres III–X increasing distally, branches of antennomeres III–X gradually decreasing, clypeus and genae protruding anteriorly, mandibles large, labrum reduced laterally, basally half as long as the distance of mandibular insertion points, extent of inner sulcus on internal margin of apical maxillary palpomere half or less, prothorax with ventral margin of hypomeron strongly sinuose, posterior corners of abdominal sterna V–VII rounded, median apical projection of pygidium wider than lateral projections, phallus one-sixth longer than parameres, apex of phallus in lateral view well delimited, ventroapical cleft absent, parameres simply straight, subcylindrical.

Etymology: The generic name is composed of the root genus Cladodes (from Greek κλαδώδες, with many shoots, referring to the antennae) with the prefix ‘ Ande ’ indicating the genus geographic range in the Andes (from Quechua andi, a high crest). Gender is masculine.
