I'm not sure exactly how the term was used in that chapter of UT, but the Dark Elves, The Moriquendi, were the Elves that never sa the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Tehy consisted of the Avari who refused the summons of the Valar and the Umanyar who accepted the summons but for one reason or another did not complete the journey. The Umanyar included the Nandor, Laiquendi (Green-Elves), and the Sindar.

They were not evil. They were called 'dark' because they hadn't seen the Light (of the Trees) and remained in Middle-Earth, living in the darkness before (and after) the Sun and Moon.
