The Paleontological Didactic Museum of Ocucaje (PDMO) is located in Ocucaje, Ica, Perú. It was founded in 2015, under the management of the District Municipality since that day it has received countless visits from tourists, families, schools and universities. The aim of this work is to communicate to general public, students, scientists, teachers, and professors the distribution of rooms and educational materials (illustrations, models, dioramas) of the Paleontological Didactic Museum of Ocucaje (PDMO). Nowadays, it has five exhibition halls, one library, 26 models representing peruvian species like Cinthyacetus peruvianus Martínez-Cáceres & Muizon, 2011 (Cetacea, Basilosauridae), Ocucajea picklingi Uhen et al., 2011 (Cetacea, Basilosauridae), Livyatan melvillei Lambert et al., 2010 (Cetacea, Physeteroidea) y Odobenoceptos peruvianus Muizon, 1993 (Cetacea, Odobenocetopsidae)...

Th is study aims to create an offi cial register about fossil collections of the Didactic Paleontological Museum of Ocucaje. The paleontological collections present 45% of vertebrate fossils where there are cetacean vertebrae, two shark teeth, part of a seal skeleton, shark vertebrae, and an archaeocete skull. 20% is represented by fossil invertebrates such as a large number of internal molds of veneroids (clams), conglomerates of Turritela woodsi Lisson, 1925, gasteropods (Naticidae), and Mesodesmatidae (Macha). In total, 157 fossils have been coded and described, the fragments that represent 35% of the collection have not been included. Th e Pisco Formation has been considered as “fossil lagerstäten” for this reason it is strictly necessary the existence of a site museum that can house this paleontological diversity and maintain a constant curatorial activity.

In Peru, Passiflora ligularis (Juss, 1805) (granadilla) is one of the passionflowers with the highest demand in the market. Diptera of the genus Dasiops (Lonchaeidae) are detrimental to the cultivation of passionflowers because the larvae feed on the internal structures of flower buds, flowers and fruits, causing between 50 and 60% losses in the production of said crops. This research aimed to determine the incidence of Dasiops sp. in flower buds of a granadilla crop and the climatological factors (temperature, precipitation and relative humidity) of the San Pedro de Grapanazú Farm (Huancabamba - Oxapampa, Pasco, Perú), during the dry season, between the months of September and October 2020. The experimental and exploratory protocol consisted of three fortnightly collections of 50 flower buds, which were dissected to determine the incidence of Dasiops sp.; in addition, 120 flower buds ...
