  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The twelve recognized species of nectar-feeding bats of the genus &lt;i&gt;Lonchophylla&lt;/i&gt; occur in low- and middle-elevation, humid, Neotropical forests. Morphological and morphometrical analyses of specimens formerly lumped with &lt;i&gt;Lonchophylla mordax&lt;/i&gt; O. Thomas (1903) support recognition of &lt;i&gt;Lonchophylla concava&lt;/i&gt; Goldman (1914) as a separate species and reveal a third species from the western Pacific lowlands of Colombia and Ecuador that I describe herein as &lt;i&gt;Lonchophylla jornicata&lt;/i&gt;. This new species is morphologically similar to &lt;i&gt;Lonchophylla concava&lt;/i&gt; but is distinctively larger than that species. Tests for sexual dimorphism within these and other species of Lonchophyllini suggest a tendency for females to have slightly longer, narrower skulls, higher coronoid processes of the mandible, and longer forearms than males.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
