Subfamily Smerinthinae
Catalog and Bibliography of the Buprestoidea of America North of Mexico By Gayle H. Nelson, George C. Walters, Jr., R. Dennis Haines, Charles L. Bellamy
Coleopterists Society, 2008
Abstract: In the first catalog since that privately published by Chamberlin (1926), this new volume is an annotated summary catalog listing all valid and invalid taxa of the families Schizopodidae and Buprestidae; with data for 787 species and 36 subspecies in 55 genera.
Under each taxon are given summaries and references for taxonomy, ecology, distribution (to state and province) and all recorded larval and adult host plant associations.
The volume concludes with a large Bibliography of references for these two families and a full index to the catalog. The catalog is 274 pages in total and follows the modern classification summarized in Bellamy (2003).

The Moth Book By W. J. Holland
Doubleday, Page & Company, 1922
This book is already listed on Bugguide, but not this printing. Copyright 1903, by W. J. Holland. Very nice hardback book. Book has color plates throughout. This is a very useful book in identifying moths, but the taxonomy has changed somewhat since this book was printed.

Field Guide to Moths of Eastern North America By Charles V. Covell, Jr.
Treats 1300 species found in the eastern United States and Canada.
Covell's work has long been sought after, and his earlier guide has sold for over $100 in the used book market. Publication of this book puts him back in the affordable category!
Note, 7/18/2005: Amazon doesn't seem to list this book, but the Virginia Museum of Natural History says they have it and the price is $40.00.
