Meteorites on Moon are officially called "meteorites".
Find in the search form of the Bulletin database in the field, where you
select the countries: "Moon".
http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php
Official Meteorites on Mars can't exist yet,
because we still have no possibilities to hand in the mandatory deposit
masses at the classifying institutes,
therefore they can't be recognized as official meteorites according the
rules of NomCom.
I'd say.

I don't know if this has ever been talked about before but if you found a
meteorite on mars or the moon when we have people there, what are we going
to call them? Unless we change the definitions we can't call ones from mars,
martian meteorites. Any ideas people?
Have a great day
Steve Dunklee
