During this survey in southeastern France, there were found three new alien spider mites species: Aponychus corpuzae found on Phyllostachys sp. and Semiarundinaria yashadake; the Persea mite Oligonychus perseae found on Persea americana and most probably also on Vitis vinifera; Stigmaeopsis nanjingensis found on Phyllostachys sp. and S. yashadake. In connection with the new records of A. corpuzae, we propose an identification key for the world species of the genus Aponychus.
