Roughly, the same difference as between "probity" and "verity" in English.

Probitas is an attribute of a person's character, and means "uprightness; honesty". It refers to good moral character in general, including the propensity to tell the truth.

Veritas is, in general, an attribute of a proposition, and means "truth". It can also be applied to a person's character with the meaning "truthfulness; honesty". To this extent, it overlaps with probitas, but probitas covers more territory.
