Thanks for confirming. Another poster on the Mountain/Tree Dragon forum said the same thing.
Apparently A. capra is named after a goat because this species has only two occipital horns, whereas the other three species have four. Its two-horned appearance must have seemed goat-like.
Also, A. lepidogaster has distinct ventral scales, a feature used to identify the species. So "rough-belly" makes sense.
Thanks for replying!
