Not that I am aware of.
There is a classification of a neutron star that has a companion from which the neutron star is drawing matter. At some point the mass of the neutron star can exceed the Oppenheimer Limit and collapse into a black hole, and there are terms for these actions, but no actual classification since these are events and not states of being.

A couple years ago there was some murmer about quark stars, which would be denser than neutron stars but not dense enough to become black holes. Here's a link to a wikipedia article about quark stars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_star
There's still a bit of a debate as to whether or not these things acutally exist.

No. Black hole is a too dense neutron star.
