This work was originally published in three parts:
Part I. (1950) Trans. Amer. Entomol. Soc, 75:133-270.
Part II. Genus Anoplius Dufour. (1951) Trans. Amer. Entomol. Soc., 76: 207-361.

All three parts are bundled together and can be read online or downloaded as a PDF from the following BHL link:
Contains a brief overview of biology of the group; a key to subfamilies of Pompilidae; a key to genera of California Pompilinae; and treatments of the following genera in the indicated order of presentation: Aporus, Allaporus, Psorthaspis, Chalcochares, Euagetes, Tastiotenia, Agenioideus, Sericopompilus, Episyron, Poecilopompilus, Tachypompilus, Anoplius (subgenera Lophopompilus, Notiochares, Arachnophroctonus, Pompilinus, Anoplius), Pompilus (subgenera Hesperopompilus, Perissopompilus, Xerochares, Ammosphex, Arachnospila, Anoplochares), Aporinellus, Allochares.
Despite the focus on more Neotropical species, a number of these species also occur within our area.
