In Wayne Maddison's 2015 study of spider phylogenetic classification, the genus Chalcoscirtus was placed in the tribe Euophryini.

The palpal bulb has a cymbium that is typical for the genus and a long bent tibial apophysis.

The eye field is short, nearly black with a blue metallic tint and has a sparse covering of white hairs.

[12] The epigyne has two round barely visible copulatory openings that lead to twisted insemination ducts and bean-shaped receptacles.

The female can be distinguished from the related Chalcoscirtus infimus by the position of the copulatory ducts.

[13] It has similarities to Chalcoscirtus zyuzini, but differs in the lack of stripes on the topside of the carapace, the scutum on the abdomen and curved embolus.

Chalcoscirtus lepidus lives in Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

[12] Other examples, including the first male to be identified, were found approximately 20 km (12 mi) southeast of Pulikhatum in the Gezgyadyk Mountain Range at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,100 m (3,300 and 3,600 ft) above sea level in 1993, although they were not described until 1999.

[14] The species range was later extended to include Iran, particularly an area 50 km (31 mi) north-northeast of Shiraz.

[15] The first example from Afghanistan was found in 1963 in Uaidan-Täl at an altitude of 2,560 m (8,400 ft) above sea level but was not identified until 2005.
