- Differential diagnosis. Chalcogenia brandli sp. nov. belongs to the C. sulcipennis (Gory, 1841) species-group which is characterised by the set of the following characters: disc of elytra with two or three more or less distinct longitudinal carinae or fine keels, never glabrous with depressions, lateral pronotal margins not emarginate before obtuse lateroposterior angles (except for some species with well-developed elytral carinae); aedeagus very often asymmetrical. Chalcogenia brandli sp. nov. is similar and probably related to C.harpelini arabica Bily, 2008 from the Arabian Peninsula (couplet 28(29) in Bily, 2008). It differs from it by the darker, less metallic colouration and by the significantly different form of the male metatibiae and genitalia. The inner spine on the male metatibiae is much longer (only short, sharp tooth in C.harpelini arabica-see Fig. 4 vs. Fig. 108 in Bily, 2008). Aedeagus of C.brandli sp. nov. is less assymetric, more or less tubular possessing deep, lateral slots, the character which has not been observed in Chalcogenia, so far (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 76 in Bily, 2008).
