From the keras source code, they're the same:
(The source code changes from time to time and the line number in the link above might eventually be wrong)

# Aliases

Convolution1D = Conv1D
Convolution2D = Conv2D
Convolution3D = Conv3D
SeparableConvolution2D = SeparableConv2D
Convolution2DTranspose = Conv2DTranspose
Deconvolution2D = Deconv2D = Conv2DTranspose
Deconvolution3D = Deconv3D = Conv3DTranspose
