The Habsburg family died out with Maria-Theresa. Her agnatic descendants are Habsburg-Lothringens. They are Lothringen because they are agnatic descendants of Franz Stefan von Lothringen (Francis Stephan of Lorraine).
It's the same situation as the Romanovs. They are really Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp-Romanovs.
