You are correct that indefinite means an antiderivative. A definite integral has both limits specified. Technically correct terms are: proper and improper definite integrals (although improper integrals are not synonymous with, but include integrals with an infinite range). Your suggestion is perfectly fine.

An indefinite integral usually means an antiderivative, not an integral over an infinite spread. Should that first sentence end with 'for integrals over finite and infinite ranges' and the second sentence omitted?
