While doing some stuff with reflection in C#, I've noticed that some types have the type definition e.g.

Foo<,>

What is the official term for this notation?

Answer 1

Type names which are missing generic parameters such as List<> are referred to as unbound generic types. This question has a good summary of unbound generic types as well as some related terminology.

Depending on what context you are describing these types, some other terminology may be used. The C# specification uses the term "unbound generic type" to refer to something like T<>. The .Net framework seems to prefer the terms "generic type definition" (as dasblinkenlight pointed out, see also Type.GetGenericTypeDefinition()) or "open generic type" (see this article).
