Checklist of the Hemiptera of Canada and Alaska
By Maw, H.E.L., R.G. Foottit, K.G.A. Hamilton and G.G.E. Scudder
NRC Research Press, 2000
From the publisher's website:

All species of Hemiptera (including 'Homoptera') known to occur in Canada and Alaska are listed and distribution by major political division given. Arrangement is by taxonomic hierarchy with cross-references from alphabetic lists of genera and species. Annotations identify introduced species and indicate pest status. A brief descriptive synopsis is included for principle taxonomic groups and references to available identification guides (keys, revisions, handbooks), catalogues, and bibliographies is provided for genera and higher taxa.

How to Know the True Bugs
By Slater, James A., and Baranowski, Richard M.
Wm. C. Brown Company, 1978
Part of the Pictured Key Nature Series. This one is, as of this writing (2004), out-of-print and hard to find. Very useful, in that it illustrates all families and many genera of Hemiptera. Widespread or notable species are described in each genus. Almost 500 illustrations.

Additional note 7/6/24. Long out-of-print, and rarity on the used market has caused insane algorithmic pricing. One hopes it will be reprinted eventually in some form. Despite its deficiencies, still a useful reference.

Catalogue of the specimens of Heteropterous-Hemiptera in the collection of the British Museum
By Walker, F.

Walker, F. (1867) Catalogue of the specimens of Heteropterous-Hemiptera in the collection of the British Museum, Part I: 1-240.

PREFACE

THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete List of all the genera and species of Heteropterous Hemiptera known to exist in the collections of European and American Entomologists. The letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode in which each of them was obtained; and the absence of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.
