Indeed, not even on Wikipedia. from Wikipedia: In order of halving
duration, we have: double note
(breve)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_whole_note>;
whole note (semibreve) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_note>; half note
(minim) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_note>; quarter note
(crotchet)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_note>;
eighth note (quaver) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_note>; sixteenth
note (semiquaver) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteenth_note>. Smaller
still are the thirty-second note
(demisemiquaver)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-second_note>,
sixty-fourth note
(hemidemisemiquaver)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixty-fourth_note>,
and hundred twenty-eighth note
(semihemidemisemiquaver)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_twenty-eighth_note>
.

In the Talk page on the 128th note entry in Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AHundred_twenty-eighth_note), there's
this input:

"The logical succession to a hundred twenty-eighth note would be a "two
hundred fifty-sixth note," or a "demisemihemidemisemiquaver" in
British/Classic terminology. However, these are exceptionally rare, if not
non-existent, as no evidence exists to prove or disprove their existence. "

So unofficially, I'd say 1/256th note = demisemihemidemisemiquaver

Best regards,

Olivier
