incorrect XP for given CR of 1
XP CR: Computed: 400 Stat Block: 200Correction: it's not the XP listing that is incorrect, it's the CR. A humanoid level 1 character (with PC class) is a CR 1/2 unless the race has an explicit CR modifier, which is not the case for androids.#
The same is true for the ghoran on page 119.
Not true, chopswil has the right of it. Some humanoids that are class-based DO NOT follow the rule of Level - 1 to determine CR (such as the drow noble and svirfneblin). If a class-based humanoid doesn't follow that rule, it calls it out in their intro paragraph under their "<X RACE> CHARATERS" section. For example, both the Android and Ghoran have the following sentence in that section:
"A android's/ghoran's challenge rating is equal to her class level."
if you read my original post i say "incorrect XP for given CR of 1"
i never said the xp is right or wrong nor do i say the cr is right or wrongi'm saying IF CR =1 THEN XP can't be 200
it's up to paizo to decide which ONE is incorrect
Wait I'm confused; you saw it was Zaister I was correcting, yes?
I did read your original post, I just assumed you were saying the XP was wrong and that the CR was right, which I agreed with. Otherwise I figured you would have said:
XP CR: Computed: 1/2 Stat Block: 1
With that sentence I quoted, there's more evidence to suggest that the CR is correct and the XP is wrong.

the "computing XP " is my program taking the CR as stated in the SB, returns an XP value and comparing that to that XP value that is in the SB.
So CR of 1 returns XP of 400this doesn't equal 200 so it flags it as an issue
BTW i do a mathematical formula so i can compute the XP for CRs above 25 given in the Core Rule Book to handle the big boys in Tome of Horrors Complete
Computing if the CR itself is correct in code is a pain, with wealth and trying to determine if adding 2 class levels of expert bumps up the CR on a fire giant--uggh.
i gave up on that.

EDIT: Two things not mentioned here, however, are the Fly and Stealth skills which would be affected in some way due to this creature's stats, ranks or not. These may not have been listed though since they would fluctuate due to the creature's Change Size ability. Simply going by the stat block, which lists the creature's size as Huge, these would currently be:
Fly +4 (0 ranks + 4 Dex + 4 good maneuverability - 4 size)
Stealth -4 (0 ranks + 4 Dex - 8 size)
Again, these will change when using its Change Size ability, with the most favorable bonuses resulting from Small size.

Skills are fine. The listed +24 bonus to Fly includes a full 15 ranks spent within it, but doesn't include the bonus from the fly spell-like ability because it hasn't been used (this creature doesn't have it as a constant spell-like ability, so her stats don't have it factored in). When she does use her fly spell-like ability, her bonus to Fly would increase to +35 (+24 bonus, +7 half CL, +4 maneuverability).

Since Disable Device is trained only, trapfinding likely wasn't factored in and so its bonus just needs to increase from +7 to +8.
It's worth mentioning though that in the Treasure line, "other treasure" should include a set of thieves' tools, or else she'll take another -2 to Disable Device.

Easiest explanation is that 5 skills were chosen as outsider class skills when only 4 are allowed to be chosen. Knowledge (history) and Perform (oratory) are NOT chosen class skills, but Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (religion), and Spellcraft were chosen. One of those 5 skills should receive a -3 reduction. My opinion is either Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft should be reduced.
My skill calculations match yours, with the following exceptions (and with my correction in italics):
Knowledge (arcana) +22 = 6(Int) + 3(class) + 13 ranks
Knowledge (history) +19 = 6(Int) + 13 ranks
Knowledge (religion) +22 = 6(Int) + 3(class) + 13 ranks

It almost looks like the emotion ooze had an ability that was deleted. It's getting a random +6 deflection bonus to AC and I can't seem to find a source. My guess is whatever ability is giving it that deflection bonus maybe also gave it an equal bonus to saves? Possibly based off the ooze's Charisma bonus?

Pg. 111 - Etiainen
Unless someone can point out to me some other use the feat has, having Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat seems redundant since incorporeal creatures already attack using Dex instead of Str. Since it's just a bonus feat instead of one taking up a feat slot, this is fine, it's just worth mentioning.

The closest thing to an affirmation of this was this post by Owen K. Stephens from over 6 years ago.

Improved Cover is...covered...in the Core Rulebook in the Combat chapter under "Cover":
Improved Cover: In some cases, such as attacking a target hiding behind an arrowslit, cover may provide a greater bonus to AC and Reflex saves. In such situations, the normal cover bonuses to AC and Reflex saves can be doubled (to +8 and +4, respectively). A creature with this improved cover effectively gains improved evasion against any attack to which the Reflex save bonus applies. Furthermore, improved cover provides a +10 bonus on Stealth checks.
Therefore, its AC, Reflex saves, and CMD are all correct as written.
HOWEVER, notice the last sentence. This creature's Stealth skill isn't reflecting that +10 bonus to Stealth it should be getting for improved cover. This may be excused though since logic would suggest that bonus comes from hiding behind something, which doesn't really apply here. You could say the racial bonus it gets to Stealth in rocky areas covers for this.

Sense Motive +24 = +20 ranks, +1 Wis, +3 class skill
Skill points are fine. Acrobatics has 20 ranks in it. The +8 racial mod is only when jumping (and is probably referring to the bonus it gets for having a 50-ft. speed).

SLA DC-cause fear: Computed: 12 Stat Block: 14
10 +1 Spell.SLA_Level +1 AbilityBonus
Stat block is correct as is. Sahkil's have an ability called emotional focus that increases the save DCs of spells and spell-like abilities with the emotion or fear descriptor by 2.

SLA DC-calm emotions: Computed: 17 Stat Block: 19

10 + (11 / 2) + 5
The sahkil's emotional focus explains both of these (emotional focus applies to the poison as well, according to the description as it's an effect). Stat block is correct as is.

While true the AC line is incorrect as far as I can tell, the claw and bite attacks are correct at +41 each (thanks to the effects of Weapon Focus). Likewise, this creature correctly has 15 feats - Weapon Focus was taken twice.

I agree the profane AC bonus seems to have no source.
The attack bonuses however are fine as is. This creature has Weapon Focus for both those attacks.

Skill Over HD Max:Climb: Computed: 4 HD: 3
Skill Points Exceeded : -1
Skills Ranks: 18 = 0 class skills +18 race skills
Dex used for tiny or smaller in skill-Climb
Total Ranks Used 19
------------------------------
Bluff +7 = +3 ranks, +1 Cha, +3 class skill
Climb +8 = +4 ranks, +1 Dex, +3 class skill*
Perception +7 = +3 ranks, +1 Wis, +3 class skill
Sense Motive +7 = +3 ranks, +1 Wis, +3 class skill
Knowledge (dungeoneering) +5 = +2 ranks, +0 Int, +3 class skill*
Knowledge (engineering) +5 = +2 ranks, +0 Int, +3 class skill*
Knowledge (planes) +5 = +2 ranks, +0 Int, +3 class skill
I believe the rule is that Tiny and smaller creatures CAN use Dex instead of Str for Climb and Swim checks, but don't HAVE to. After all, using your muscles to perform these actions logically should always be an option, it's just that these smaller creatures are usually lithe enough to use Dex instead. Some rare few Tiny and smaller creatures, like the earth wysp, have higher Strength than they do Dexterity, and therefore should be able to continue using Str for Climb and Swim. After all, a character with Weapon Finesse who suddenly becomes the target of a bull's strength spell could certainly choose to attack with Strength should it be higher than their Dex at that point.

Pg. 305 - Colossus subtype; pinning stomp
The pinning stomp ability of the colossus subtype says, in the first sentence, that it can make a single melee attack at its highest base attack bonus as a swift action, but the individual stat blocks of the colossi list their stomp attack as a separate attack done instead of their other attacks, insinuating it's a standard action.

Pg. 310 - Empower Spell-Like Ability feat
Like in previous Bestiaries, this feat has a prereq of "Spell-like ability at caster level 6th or higher", but according to the table on page 311, it suggests that people at caster level 4th should be able to take the feat to empower 0-level spell-like abilities.

Pg. 311 - Quicken Spell-Like Ability feat
Like Empower Spell-Like Ability above, this feat has a prereq of "Spell-like ability at caster level 10th or higher", but according to the table on the same page, it suggests that people at caster level 8th should be able to take the feat to empower 0-level spell-like abilities.

P. 166 - Manasaputra, Solar Pitri
Cosmic Fire DC is different in the Aura line (DC 35), then in the special ability description (DC 31).
Correct DC should be 31 (10+12+9).
+4 difference might be from Ability Focus or racial bonus, but none are in the stats block and it already has its 12 feats. Might have been removed later in dev and not corrected in both places.
Radiant Transformation DC is also different in the Special Attack line (DC 30), then in the ability description (DC 31).
Correct DC should be 31 (10+12+9).
For this one, I would assume the ability was changed from Charisma-based to Wisdom-based and the change was again not reflected in the stat block or vice versa.
