Enigmatic Variations N0. 1637 By Stick Insect

[Matakari]

Good morning, got a few for what looks like a real challenge this week. Help with the following would be appreciated to continue, thanks in advance!
 

(Each clue contains a misprint in the definition. In clue order the correct letters give three characters, the subject of a QUESTION in a work. In accordance with the work’s title, ten cells must be emptied, leaving real words or phrases ( ignoring gaps ). Chambers Dictionary ( 2016 ) is recommended. )

11a Pears and lychee fermented, drunk arhcly missing things used in perries ( 5 ):  ???E?

14a Follower of May nuts about start of our independence ( 6 ) : ?AO?AT

15a US fuel rich, incorporating oxygen ( 8 )  : ???N??RD

20a Czech pun below par, spirit assumes ( 7 )  : ???D?R?

3d Something made to be placed later in circle around green road ( 9 ) : G????????

18d They can handle more than one look and amorous advance on islands ( 8 ) : ???L????

[JJ109]

11a -  anagram of "pears + lychee - archly". The answer is something that "parries". The misprint is the E in perries that should be an "A"

[scorpiojo]

15 Mo O n eyed

[JJ109]

14a The misprint is the Y in May which should be an O.

4 letter word for nuts and berries etc around O(ur) I(ndependence) - = Chinese Communist

[JJ109]

20a The misprint is the U in un which should be an E

Czech author = a 5 letter word for below inside a 2 letter word for an Egyption spirit or soul

[JJ109]

3d THe C in placed should be a Y. Your G is wrong!

Something taped to be played later is the definition. 

Circle 4 letter word, + 3 letter word for green as in warrior and 2 letter abbreviation for road are inside the "circle"

[JJ109]

18d The O in look should be a C = they can handle more than one lock

4 letter amorous advance + 4 letter islands (Florida for example

Many thanks, jj109, for the impressive and very lucid hints! I’m seeking a confirmation now for the following to ensure I’m on the right track, grateful!
1a Joy mostly follows sugar making sound like train ( 6 ) GURGLE       ( D )
13a Blanch Pollack as above ( 5 )  LO??R
9d Example of genua 23 rodents rejected in embryo ( 7 ) : B?S??R?

And some hints for these, please:

16a Amazement in hearing angle elongates swimmer ( 7, 2 words ): ??R?IS?

23a Elisha, for ode, is coming after books ( 4 ) : ??I?

36a She trims her chances coming by river steamship ( 11 ): ?????T????S

22d One giving the slim earl notice receives termination ( 7 ):  EO?????

 

 

[cashier]

16   Oarfish  oar = awe

[cashier]

23   Otis

[cashier]

9    Bustard

[JJ109]

9d Look up the genus "OTIS" ie 23a and you will get a bird. Usual rodents reversed inside a three letter word for a plant embryo

The misprint was genua to genus

[JJ109]

36a She triEs her chances

6 letter word for the coming (of Christmas eg) + 3 letter river + 2 letter steamship

[JJ109]

22d One giving the sli"P" = definition

abbreviation earl + three letter word for to notice around a 3 letter word for termination(also something worn on the head)

[JJ109]

Gurgle is correct!

[JJ109]

13a bRAnch= lobus

lob pollack + ubi supra (us) = latin as above/ as fore mentioned

[Matakari]

Fantastic hints again, jj109! I’m learning so much from them! This final batch should get me closer to the theme, thanks again!

25a Aboriginal lads lagging houses ( 3 ) : E??C?S

21d Spencer’s mare near part of Mediterranean upset ( 5 ) : N????

26d One absolutely given motion ( 5 ) : ????D

30d Pig, mule and snake beginning to rumble ( 4 ) : ???R

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, I think you have the first two clues slightly muddled. You have given the right letter count, but given the wrong letters, they should be swapped round.

Glad you have had so much help on this.
