  abstract = {{N}ew {C}aledonia is an important biodiversity hotspot with much undocumented biodiversity, especially in many insect groups. {H}ere we used an integrative approach to explore species diversity in the tenebrionid genus {U}loma ({C}oleoptera, {T}enebrionidae, {U}lomini), which encompasses about 150 species, of which 22 are known from {N}ew {C}aledonia. {T}o do so, we focused on a morphologically homogeneous group by comparing museum specimens with material collected during several recent field trips. {W}e also conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated matrix of four mitochondrial and three nuclear genes for 46 specimens. {T}he morphological study allowed us to discover and describe four new species that belong to the group of interest, the {U}loma isoceroides group. {M}olecular analyses confirmed the species boundaries of several of the previously described species and established the validity of the four new species. {T}he phylogenetic analyses also provided additional information on the evolutionary history of the group, highlighting that a species that was thought to be unrelated to the group was in fact a member of the same evolutionary lineage. {M}olecular species delimitation confirmed the status of the sampled species of the group and also suggested some hidden (cryptic) biodiversity for at least two species of the group. {A}ltogether this integrative taxonomic approach has allowed us to better define the boundaries of the {U}loma isoceroides species group, which comprises at least 10 species: {U}loma isoceroides ({F}auvel, 1904), {U}loma opacipennis ({F}auvel, 1904), {U}loma caledonica {K}aszab, 1982, {U}loma paniei {K}aszab, 1982, {U}loma monteithi {K}aszab, 1986, {U}loma robusta {K}aszab, 1986, {U}loma clamensae sp. n., {U}loma condaminei sp. n., {U}loma jourdani sp. n., and {U}loma kergoati sp. n. {W}e advocate more studies on other {N}ew {C}aledonian groups, as we expect that much undocumented biodiversity can be unveiled through the use of similar approaches.},
