I don't think evidence is categorized... But..
It would depend: if it is a hidden print, it will probably have to be discovered using some kind of chemicals such as luminol or simple things like powder, this meaning it will require forensics. So pretty much: 'Forensic evidence', But if it had nothing to do with discovering it using forensics, well, someone else will have to answer that for you.
Added: It is known as PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.
