Family Pompilidae - Spider Wasps
Nearctic Wasps of the Subfamilies Pepsinae and Ceropalinae By Henry K. Townes
Smithsonian Institute Press (Bulletin 209), 1957
This is the literature I'll be citing in my guide pages for Pepsines and Ceropalines. It obviously doesn't cover some species described after '57 but it's still the best comprehensive study. It has some really good keys. Might be hard to buy but most large university libraries should have it.

INSECTS OF THE SOUTHWEST: Arizona, New Mexico, So. California By Douglas D. Copeland
Self published by author, 2009
This is a neat photo book. There is no written information, but rather 715 color photographs of dragonflies, beetles, and moths mostly from Southern Arizona. It is an excellent book to have if you are interested in Southwestern insects. Somewhat like having a miniature museum at your fingertips sans collection info.
Available from bioquip (bioquip.com) for $25
