Proper way to point removed text?

Proper way to point removed text?

[Maurí­cio]

What is the proper way in english printing to show
that some text has been removed from a quote? In
(brazilian) Portuguese, we use [...], for instance:

   Depois de mencionadas outras questões, comentou-se
   o ocorrido.

can quoted as

   [...] comentou-se o ocorrido.


Is there a name for that?

Thanks,
Maurício
