Jardine's Dictionary of Entomology
Digital version of A Dictionary of Entomology by N. K. Jardine (1914). Available as individual html documents (by letter), a text-based PDF, and a facsimile (scanned) PDF. It is extensive--I found some terms in there I had puzzled over for some time.

A series of monographs about insect groups as they exist in California (in PDF format). Many useful keys and descriptions, though most are over the head of the non-entomologically-trained. Even so, amateurs will find useful information even if they can't make full use of the articles.
