Lonchophylla fornicata is a species of bat found in South America.
Lonchophylla fornicata was described as a new species in 2007 by Neal Woodman. Woodman suggested the common name of "Pacific forest long-tongued bat". The holotype had been collected in 1966 29 km (18 mi) southeast of Buenaventura, Colombia by Maurice Earl. The species name fornicata is from Latin meaning "arched"; the name was chosen to allude to its similarity to another species, Lonchophylla concava . [2]
It has a forearm length ranging from 34.2–35.6 mm (1.35–1.40 in). [2]
It is native to South America where its range includes Colombia and Ecuador. It has been documented at a range of elevations from 75–512 m (246–1,680 ft) above sea level. As of 2019, it has only been observed in humid forests on the Pacific-facing slopes of the Andes. [1]
As of 2019, it is listed as a data deficient species by the IUCN because its ecological requirements are poorly understood. [1]
