I think "waxes" is an option too:
Waxes. Waxes are esters of fatty acids with long chain monohydric alcohols

"Waxes" and "wax esters" are also used to refer to cerides. Ex.:

Note from asker:
| Hi! See my note. I had seen that definition, but very few occurrences when I searched the Internet. Since this is a basic course, I assumed there would be a more familiar term. |
