EBI
ENA has now added name string look-up to its REST taxonomy service. There is light documentation here (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/about/page.php?page=browser#1.19) and here are some examples:

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/Taxon:Bacillus subtilis http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/Taxon:Pan

It can handle synonyms an common names that we have on record:

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/Taxon:turkey

An also caters for lists:

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/Taxon:Human,Taxon:Cat,Taxon:Mouse,Taxon:Zebrafish

It shows all possible matches so as not to risk giving the wrong answer:
