I'm not sure of your question but there are presently 3 species commonly kept.

1. G.portentosa - these come in a variety of colors and sizes and may be sold as G.picea or Princisia. They are extremely common.

2. G. grandidieri - these are usually banded in black and white and are less common.

3. E.chopardi - small species that's often straw colored but can look similar to some varieties of portentosa but the male's horn structure is very different.

The only other species which was once available was E. "v-horn" but it seems to have disappeared from culture.
