Species of the family Phytoseiidae are predators of pest mites and small insects. Their biodiversity is not equally known according to regions and supporting plants. This paper focuses on Phytoseiidae species on plants of the family Solanaceae. The Solanaceae contain many cultivated plants, for example tomato on which leaf characteristics hinder Phytoseiidae settlement and dispersal. This study presents (i) results of surveys carried out on Solanaceae in the south of France, and (ii) Phytoseiidae biodiversity on Solanaceae worldwide. Eleven species were retrieved on 20 solanaceous plants in the south of France with four main species: Euseius gallicus, Euseius stipulatus, Phytoseiulus persimilis and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) recki. The global analysis suggests that much more species might be found enhancing sampling efforts, whatever the biogeographic region considered. Five Phytoseiidae genera concentrate the highest number of reports and species [Amblyseius, Neoseiulus, Euseius, Phytoseius and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius)]. These genera are not evolutionarily related; adaptation on Solanaceae seems to be recent, except in the Neotropical region. The latter region represents the highest number of reports, species and Solanaceae plants sampled, probably as the centre of origin of this plant family. Occurrence probabilities in biogeographic regions and plant genera are provided as a baseline for searching for new predators adapted to Solanaceae.

茄科植物上的Phytoseiidae（Acari：Mesostigmata）：在法国南部进行的一项调查结果以及对世界生物多样性的审查。

昆虫科的一种是害虫和小昆虫的天敌。就区域和支持植物而言，它们的生物多样性并不相同。本文重点研究茄科植物上的植物科。茄科包含许多栽培植物，例如番茄，其叶片特征阻碍了番茄科的沉降和扩散。这项研究介绍了（i）在法国南部茄科进行的调查结果，以及（ii）在全世界茄科的植物科生物多样性。在法国南部的20种茄科植物上共检索到11种，其中有4种主要种：use（Euseius gallicus），use（Euseius stipulatus），百日草（Phytoseiulus persimilis）和伤寒（Typhlodromus）（Anthoseius）recki。全局分析表明，无论考虑到生物地理区域，可能会发现更多物种加强了采样工作。五植绥属集中的报告和物种[次数最多的钝绥螨，香瓜小新，Euseius，Phytoseius和盲走（Anthoseius）]。这些属与进化无关。除新热带地区外，对茄科的适应似乎是最近的。后一个地区代表了最多的报告，物种和茄科植物采样，可能是该植物家族起源的中心。提供生物地理区域和植物属的发生概率作为寻找适合茄科的新捕食者的基准。
