Abstract: Consider a multitype coalescent process in which each block has a colour in $1,ldots,d$. Individual blocks may change colour, and some number of blocks of various colours may merge to form a new block of some colour. We show that if the law of a multitype coalescent process is invariant under permutations of blocks of the same colour, has consistent Markovian projections, and has asychronous mergers, then it is a multitype $Lambda$-coalescent: a process in which single blocks may change colour, two blocks of like colour may merge to form a single block of that colour, or large mergers across various colours happen at rates governed by a $d$-tuple of measures on the unit cube $[0,1{]}^d$. We go on to identify when such processes come down from infinity. Our framework generalises Pitman's celebrated classification theorem for singletype coalescent processes, and provides a unifying setting for numerous examples that have appeared in the literature including the seed-bank model, the island model and the coalescent structure of continuous-state branching processes.
