Hi,

well, this question is neither stupid nor hard to answer
The book you have (authors are Obst et al.) was published back in 1988. So quite some time ago, right?! Meanwhile scientific work goes on and things change.
As far as I know (and sorry, I'm not the lizard specialist) the genus Amphibolurus was introduced by Wiegmann in 1834 and later put to synonymy by a subsequent worker. I think Cogger 1983 resurrected this genus from synonymy and after that the genus Pogona was introduced by Storr in 1992. As you can see, the genus was introduced after the book by Obst et al. was written.

Hope I'm not to wrong and it helps you a little bit...

Cheers,
Wulf
