The Soldier Flies or Stratiomyidae of California By James, M. T.
University of California Press, 1960
This work is available for download as a PDF file by clicking this link. Technical, but (with patience and perseverance) helpful for working on California Stratiomyidae. Some comments:
[list]
There are keys to California genera and species...presumably complete as known and recognized by the author in 1960. (And modulo errors(?): e.g. the genus Euparyphus appears in couplet 16 of the key to genera, but I could not find the genus discussion or key to species anywhere within the PDF).
The PDF linked to above is missing pages 119 and 120 (which apparently contain various figures/plates).

Bee Flies of the World By Hull, Frank M.
Though this work covers more than North America, it includes North American genera with distribution maps, notes on host relationships, illustrations that help identify at least to genus level, and much more. A great resource!

The families and genera of North American Diptera By Charles H. Curran
An interesting old book, 512 pages. Available as a free download from this web page (PDF is 33MB). I don't know, but I get the feeling it may be a bit of a "classic". A biographical summary on the author appears here.
Written as the thesis for a D.Sc. degree from University of Montreal in 1933.
