Limão Capeta must be what we call Limão Galego or Limão Bergamota or Limão Cravo in the south.

It has more names than tangerines and makes a great caipirinha.

At least in São Paulo, limão galego is a small, green lemon and limão cravo is an orange-colored lemon that looks almost like a tangerine.
Funny that you mentioned this, in Italian "bergamotto" is a sort of bitter orange
In Portuguese "bergamota" by itself is tangerine.
