Long-focus lens:

Optical designs of telephoto lenses must contain a telephoto group, which allows the lens to be physically shorter than its focal length. A lens with a conventional design and a focal length longer than a normal lens should properly be referred to as long focus.

And from wikipedia:

A telephoto lens works by having the outermost (i.e. light gathering) element of a much shorter focal length than the equivalent long-focus lens ...

Non-telephoto long-focus lenses aren't used much anymore, at least in the SLR world, so you can basically just use telephoto to refer to longer focal lengths and not have to worry.

The only construction-agnostic term would be long lens to compliment the other lens classes: wideangle and normal.

The complimentary set to telephotos would be long-focus lenses:
