I have a full grid but not sure how these clues "work"

There is an extra letter in the wordplay in each clue

17a Jerk contracted back muscles for striking effects - ans is ECLATS
26a Display about current account returning capital - ans is ACCRA - is it "air" for show +c(about) + ca (current account)??
23a American cockchafer poked round mounds - ans is DORBU - dorbuG is the US cockchafer beetle but "poked round mounds"???

Grateful for any explanations

26a) looks ok

17a The extra letter is "P" so possibly pecs for the "muscles" bit
Lats are back muscles

thanks dannyk13 - so it must be pe(jerk) + c(contracted) + lats ... giving p as the extra letter.

Allsorted now, thanks
