  abstract = {{U}lva is a green macroalgal genus with rich species diversity and worldwide distribution. {W}hile current knowledge on {U}lva diversity focuses on temperate regions, genetic and morphological data in tropical and subtropical areas are scarce and the species richness is not clearly defined. {T}he genus is known for its bloom-forming ability that can induce green tides leading to severe environmental and economic damage. {I}n the last two decades, several important blooms of {U}lva spp. have occurred in {N}ew {C}aledonia, requiring further investigations to identify the species involved. {A}s knowledge of {N}ew {C}aledonian {U}lva diversity is limited, an update to the {U}lva spp. inventory in the area is essential. {B}ased on {U}lva specimens collected throughout {N}ew {C}aledonia ({G}rande {T}erre, {I}sle of {P}ines and {L}oyalty {I}slands), we (1) reassessed species diversity using species delimitation methods, (2) analysed morpho-anatomical characters to identify species and/or enrich their diagnosis, and (3) reconstructed a multilocus phylogeny ({ITS}, rbc{L}, tuf{A}) of the genus. {W}e found 21 secondary species hypotheses ({SSH}s) among our dataset, from which five were successfully assigned to {U}. lactuca, {U}. ohnoi, {U}. tepida, {U}. meridionalis and {U}. taeniata. {T}en {SSH}s were defined as new species for which we provided taxonomic description, and six other {SSH}s were singletons that will need to be data-enriched for better interpretation. {O}ur concatenated multilocus matrix included 61 {U}lva species. {O}f these, 15 species were found in {N}ew {C}aledonia and were moderately to strongly supported. {A}mong the {U}lva species found in {N}ew {C}aledonia, seven are known to be bloom-forming which highlights the need for strict regulation and regular monitoring of water quality, particularly in areas exposed to strong nutrient input where these species can form green tides.},
