is there a name for homonyms that are antonyms?

I have seen "homophonic antonyms" to describe this, but this is a new one! others: accepting/excepting; to raise/raze (a building)

Some are also homographic antonyms! e.g. dust -- remove dust OR add dust

Factoid, arguable
Sanction
Antohnym as a homonym for antonym that means an antonym homonym seems promising
Homocontronym?
