I found a good text on a blog about the subject, which explains why they are different groups.
"Mer skillnader är bl.a. att resandefolket (som ibland kallar sig för ”Förstavandringens romanifolk”) levde här (Sverige) långt före 1500-talet, medans nyare familjer som kallades för ”zigenare” kom under slutet av 1800-talet. Folket som kom från Östeuropa och Ryssland vandrade på vägarna och sålde sitt hantverk och tjänster, precis som resandefolket hade gjort i många år. Detta gjorde att grupperna inte bara drogs till varandra av nyfikenhet m.m. utan även stred om samma levebröd, vilket ledde till att vi inte alltid ”drog jämt”. De nya grupperna var ändå ganska olika resandefolket i sin kultur och är så än idag, vilket vi själva ser, men majoritetsbefolkningen då som nu blandar ihop grupperna"

I made a quick google translate, so the translation might be a little weird:
Further differences include the traveling community (who sometimes call themselves the "The First walking Romani people") lived here (Sweden) long before the 1500s, while the newer families who were called "gypsies" came in the late 1800s. The people who came from Eastern Europe and Russia walked the roads and sold their crafts and services, just like the traveling community had done for many years. This meant that the groups are not only drawn to each other out of curiosity etc. but also fought on the same livelihood, resulting in that we do not always "pulled evenly." The new groups were still quite different traveling community in its culture and remains so today, as we see ourselves, but the majority of the population then and now confuses groups.
In Sweden the group is called "Tattare" sometimes, but the word has become a discriminating and is often used to describe a lower people of society.
