In the modern periodic table, elements with atomic numbers 58 to 71 are called:
Lanthanoids
The modern periodic table groups elements after lanthanum (atomic number 57) into a special inner-transition series.
Elements with atomic numbers 58 (Cerium) to 71 (Lutetium) form the Lanthanoid series (also called Lanthanides). They belong to the f-block and are placed below the main table for convenience.
Actinoids are the second inner-transition series with atomic numbers 90 to 103. Halogens (Group 17) and noble gases (Group 18) are p-block elements and do not lie in this range.
Hence, elements with atomic numbers 58 to 71 are called Lanthanoids.
