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.
