Multilocus phylogenies reveal paraphyly in C. foetida. Individuals from central, south and western Borneo, integrate a monophyletic clade, that diverged around 1 million years ago from a shallow clade which includes individuals from Sabah, plus the Kinabalu shrew, C. baluensis, and the black-footed shrew, C. nigripes (Sulawesi).[2]
