Suppose $L$ is a parameterized language with respect to some alphabet $\Sigma$. The $k$-slice of $L$ is $L_k = L \cap \{(x,k) \mid x \in \Sigma^{*}\}$, the set of instances in $L$ which have parameter $k$. The complexity class $\mathsf{XP}$ contains the parameterized languages $L$ such that $L_k \in P$ for each $k$, possibly with a different algorithm and polynomial running time bound for each $k$. Each fixed-parameter tractable language is in $\mathsf{XP}$, and there are languages in $\mathsf{XP}$ that are not in $\mathsf{FPT}$; this is Proposition 27.1.1 in the Downey & Fellows 2013 textbook.
However, $\mathsf{XP}$ seems to have nontrivial structure beyond this, since one can stratify this class based on how fast the degree of the bounding polynomial grows with $k$: for $\mathsf{FPT}$ the degree is constant, whereas for $\mathsf{XP}$ it can grow arbitrarily. Downey & Fellows does not mention anything about the structure of $\mathsf{XP}$ beyond Proposition 27.1.1, and the discussion in the Flum & Grohe 2006 textbook isn't much more detailed.
Following on from my earlier question Limits of variants of Independent Set? is there a name for the subclass $\mathsf{Q}$ of $\mathsf{XP}$ where $L \in \mathsf{Q}$ if there is a polynomial $g_L$ such that every instance $(x,k)$ in $L$ can be decided in at most $|x|^{g_L(k)}$ steps?
In other words, this class $\mathsf{Q}$ allows only up to $|x|^{\text{poly}(k)}$ time instead of $|x|^{g(k)}$ time for some arbitrary function $g$ as for $\mathsf{XP}$.
