Dacus olece, Fb. 

 This well-known serious pest of cultivated olives in Southern Europe 

 is known to occur in wild olives at Cherat, North-West Frontier Province, 

 and probably throughout North- West India. So far as we know, it 

 has not yet been noted to attack cultivated olives in India but the olive 

 industry is as yet a very young one and there is little doubt but that we 

 shall have trouble with thrs olive fruitfly.
