The only predefined integer types in recent versions of Janus/Ada are 
Integer and Long_Integer. Janus/Ada also has a type System.Byte for 
compatibility with our Ada 83 compiler, and of course the various types in 
package Interface.

I've never seen "Short_Short_Integer" in any Ada compiler (not that I've 
been looking).

Of course, you can explicitly define an 8-bit signed integer type, but we 
don't predefine one (it's not very useful); Integer is 16-bit [for 
compatibility with our compilers going back to the beginning of time, on the 
8080/Z80], and Long_Integer is 32-bit.
