Bee Flies of the World
By Hull, Frank M.
ISBN: 0_87474-131-9
Cite: 94109
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!

Old, outdated, but still good.
There is a much newer "catalog" to bee flies of the world which I haven't seen, by Neal L. Evenhuis and friends. I do have the book mentioned here and can attest to its helpfulness:-)

About 6 pages of unidentified
Bombyliidae here if you care to try your hand at 'em. We'll be happy to help move them once you get some kind of ID. Also many more on the subfamily or tribe pages too!
