Abstract: We define the equivariant family index of a family of elliptic operators invariant with respect to the free action of a bundle $GR$ of Lie groups. If the fibers of $GRoB$ are simply-connected solvable, we then compute the Chern character of the (equivariant family) index, the result being given by an Atiyah-Singer type formula. We also study traces on the corresponding algebras of pseudodifferential operators and obtain a local index formula for such families of invariant operators, using the Fedosov product. For topologically non-trivial bundles we have to use methods of non-commutative geometry. We discuss then as an application the construction of ``higher-eta invariants, which are morphisms $K_n(PsSinftyY)oCC$. The algebras of invariant pseudodifferential operators that we study, $PsminftyY$ and $PsSinftyY$, are generalizations of ``parameter dependent algebras of pseudodifferential operators (with parameter in $R{R}^q$), so our results provide also an index theorem for elliptic, parameter dependent pseudodifferential operators.
