Lonchophylla fornicata is a species of bat found in South America, whose range includes Colombia and Ecuador. It was described as a new species in 2007 by Neal Woodman, who suggested the common name Pacific forest long-tongued bat. The holotype was collected in 1966, 29 kilometres southeast of Buenaventura, Colombia, by Maurice Earl, and the species name, Latin for arched, alludes to its similarity to Lonchophylla concava. Its forearm is 34.2 to 35.6 millimetres long. It has been documented at elevations of 75 to 512 metres above sea level and, as of 2019, has only been observed in humid forests on the Pacific-facing slopes of the Andes. The IUCN lists it as data deficient as of 2019 because its ecological requirements are poorly understood.
