I have everything, including the theme and the non-words, but am stuck with 32d. Can anyone just give me a clue?

[kayakamina]

The letters removed can be considered these to the overall words.

[whatsthat]

Thats what I thought K, but can't find it.
My crosschecked letters are L S R E S - have I got an across clue wrong?

[kayakamina]

The unchecked letters are LSSES

Recheck 40a!

[whatsthat]

Thanks K, you're a marvel.
Corrected 40a and35d and now I have it.
This was the most difficult Speccie I've ever finisehd!
