Oh doh yes I do! Once again I got tautonym and autonym mixed up. Autonym is within a species - like homo sapiens sapiens to distinguish from homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
It's borrowed from Shavian's idea of short handing certain grammar words. Were I a bolder man I'd be doing ð same for for, but, and, not, so, to, and oðers, along wið a host of orþographic reforms.

Species named like this are called "autonymous". Like rattus rattus or puffinus puffinus.

I was interested in a list of species like this, but couldn't find anything when searching for "autonym". Did you mean "Tautonym" instead?

The grizzly bear is Ursos arctos horribilis, which translates as "horrible bear bear."

Which is kind of funny because of miscommunication, they thought they were naming a grisly bear.

shoutout for using thorn and eth, but man using just eth as a short for "the" took me a couple seconds to figure out.
