Brachycerus socotranus sp. nov., endemic to Socotra Island, is described from the three specimens collected by the Czech expeditions to Socotra in 2000–2012. The new species is characterized by prominent horn-like tubercles at the base of the rostrum, intact medial groove of pronotum with strongly prominent longitudinal carina and sexual dimorphism in the form of the apical part of the elytra.
