Old, outdated, but still good.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!
