They may be of the same genus, but they are not the same species. The Oculus may be adapted for deeper water and dark caves, as that's where they are found. The Peeper on the other hand, is more adapted to shallow water, as they don't stray too far from it. I see what you mean by there being a possible connection between them, they do look very similar. As for them being of the same genus, it's like a wolf and a domestic dog being in the same genus, "Canis". I'm only speculating, as it's not confirmed, but it is very possible they are related in some way.
