It is called an A La Seconde turn, sometimes know as a Forte (Fortay). Similar to a Fouette, only the leg en l'air does not bend in with the foot at the knee. In A La Seconde the leg stays straight!

That's what I know it as, too- alesacone.

an arabesque turn

A la seconde turns (mainly done by men)
