| Summary: | The Solanaceae family has a great diversity of species distributed from the temperate zones with the exception of Antarctica, tropical and warm areas. Some of its economically important plants such as peppers, potatoes and tomatoes, are commonly parasitized by rusts, affecting their quality and production. The objective of this research was to study the Pucciniales of the Solanaceae family in Colombia, this deposited in the Museo Micológico at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia Medellín (MMUNM) campus. Unidentified collections of this group of plants were analyzed with symptoms of rusts fungi (Pucciniales, Basidiomycota) and were collected during the last few years in the provinces of Antioquia, Caqueta, Caldas, Casanare, Cundinamarca, Huila, Magdalena and Nariño. The taxomonic work of the Pucciniales was conducted through observations, morphometric analysis and an exhaustive bibliographic review. Uredo mirtoideae is described as a new species for science and ten new hosts parasitized by rusts. In Colombia 23 rust fungi species are registered on the Solanaceae family, equivalent to 6% of the total of those reported in the country, and are currently found parasitizing a total of 43 host species of this important family. La familia Solanaceae cuenta con una gran diversidad de especies distribuidas desde zonas templadas, con excepción de la Antártida, hasta zonas tropicales y cálidas. Algunas de sus plantas de importancia económica como el ají, papa y tomate, se encuentran comúnmente parasitadas por royas, afectando su calidad y producción. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar los Pucciniales de la familia Solanaceae en Colombia, depositados en el Museo Micológico de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Medellín (MMUNM). Se analizaron colecciones no identificadas de este grupo de plantas con presencia de síntomas de roya (Pucciniales, Basidiomycota) y colectadas en los últimos años en los departamentos de Antioquia, Caquetá, Caldas, Casanare, Cundinamarca, Huila, Magdalena y Nariño.
