P. hypocausta - the BOLD (hobern) and 'Research Grade' specimens on iNat have a dark thorax. In the discussion on one of these iNat specimens ( https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/140047502 ) Peter McQuillan says " A good match for Meyrick's original description. The type locality is Adelaide. The images for hypocausta in the Atlas of Living Australia are not this species. https://archive.org/details/proceedingsoflin0108linn/page/481/mode/1up?view=theater&q=hypocausta"
This description says " Thorax deep yellow, (my caps) ANTERIOR HALF, OR SOMETIMES WHOLLY, SUFFUSED WITH DARK FUSCOUS." (my caps)
Sadly P. protecta is not described in this archive document.

Yes, but where is the type specimen ? There is no indication that is a drawing of the type specimen. That British Museum specimen may be misidentified. The book it came from is dated 1900. If I am reading this correctly Turner named it in 1905.
Amata chromatica

I have compared the fruit with Acer palmatum (which I have plenty of) and see that the 'individual stalks' are hidden inside pairs of seeds until they ripen and separate. Angle between seeds is close to 180 degrees, so not a V-shape.
