The best source for this info that I've found is Robert Rushmore's book THE SINGING VOICE, which is unfortunately out of print, but often turns up at Alibris.com, and in many libraries.
Online, there's a reasonably good "dictionary" of vocal categories in the San Diego Opera Source Book, which can be found online at (be sure to cut and paste the entire URL if you're using a reader that doesn't do hyperlinks):

I recently found an online redux of operatic vocal categories that is quite amusingly opinionated, and should NOT be taken as accurate!
