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!

Arthropods (Arthropoda) » Insects (Insecta) » Flies (Diptera)
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.

Arthropods (Arthropoda) » Insects (Insecta) » Flies (Diptera)
The Flies of Western North America
By Frank R. Cole and Evert I. Schlinger
University of California Press, 1968
Although out of print, and in some respects out of date, I have consulted this tome numerous times where I had nothing else available. It has been a very valuable resource.
Since this book is out of print, the Amazon link doesn't seem to work. See here for internet availability: 1.
