Callimedusa perinesos is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is found on the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in Colombia (Caquetá Department) and Ecuador (Napo and, at least formerly, Sucumbíos Provinces). Common name orange-spotted leaf frog has been proposed for it.
Callimedusa perinesos occurs in primary and secondary montane forests at elevations of 1,350–1,740 m (4,430–5,710 ft) above sea level. The eggs are laid on inside leaves rolled up in ponds and pools of water. It is a rare species that is threatened by habitat loss (deforestation), including destruction of its breeding pools.
