 T. melmwpogon inhabits the same locaUties generally, and resembles it very closely 

 in size. It may be distinguished readily from that species by the possession in 

 males of a submental pouch, and, in females, by traces of the margins of this 

 pouch. As the black beard is not always present in the males of T. melanopogon, 

 a careful examination is always necessary to distinguish the species,
