Ixalus nubilus Mocquard, 1890, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. Paris, Ser. 3, 2: 153. Syntypes: MNHNP 1889.344-46, according to Guibé, 1950 "1948", Cat. Types Amph. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat.: 44. Type locality: "Palawan", Philippines.
Ixalus natator var. nubilus — Mocquard, 1892, Mem. Soc. Zool. France, 5: 193. Guibé, 1950 "1948", Cat. Types Amph. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat.: 44, incorrectly regarded this name to be a homonym of Ixalus nubilis Mocquard, 1890, when it explicitly merely represents the consideration of Ixalus nubilus Mocquard, 1890, as a variety of Ixalus natator.
