There is just one species of platypus, Ornithorhynchus Anatinus. It is found only in Australia, and is the same species, whether it lives in the sub-alpine regions of the south, or in the tropical northern freshwater creeks. Platypuses are one of three species of monotremes, mammals that lay eggs.

There is just one type of platypus, and no other sub-species or sub-classifications.

It is simply the platypus, and there is no species called the "duck-billed platypus".

I thought that the duck billed platypus was the same as the platypus, just the full name.

The platypus has only one species (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) and is the single remaining representative of its taxonomical family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.
