Comparison of mitochnodrial CO1 sequences show that _C. intestinalis_ types A
and B (now renamed _robusta_ and _intestinalis sensu_) are as distant as
distinct species ([[Nydam and Harrison,
-2007|biblio/10.1007_s00227-007-0617-0]]). Sequencing of nuclear genes showed
-intragenic recombination in _C. robusta_ and _C. intestinalis_, buy supported
-monophyly of these two species. Both data also supported paraphyly of
-_C. intestinalis_ with respcet to _C. roulei_ ([[Nydam and Harrison,
-2010|biblio/20403444]]). Speciation is estimated to have happened during the
-Pliocene (≈ 3.8 Ma); a recent introgression then happened 15,000 years ago
