At a guess, "phyletic gradualism". This concept, codified by
Eldredge and Gould in their 1972 chapter introducing
Punctuated Equilibria, is often referenced by punctuationists
as "gradualism". It is an unfortunate but common occurrence.
What Gould describes on p. 191 as a view of discontinuous
change that is still Darwinian is pretty much what Mayr refers
to simply as "gradualism".
