Found in our house, presumably it had warmed up with the slightly warmer outdoor temperatures of late. An adult female?

You likely are correct about the species,

but I'm not sure. I'll try to sort more of them to species again soon, but it's more of a process of elimination than of recognition, and if several similar-looking species occur in the same area, I often can't identify them without a specimen in hand. This one appears to me to be a nymph, since the ovipositor is still quite small, though I'm not certain even of this. It seems that many of these Camel Crickets overwinter as nymphs, and mature in the late winter or spring, though a lot of them seem to be present at all stages of growth through much of they year.

Moved from Grasshoppers, Crickets, Katydids.

C. maculatus?

Thanks David.

Here is a photo of a mature female C. maculatus http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/ShowImage.aspx?TaxonNameID=1130175&ImageID=167826
, so I think your assessment of this being a nymph is a good one if it is indeed this species.

The other Ceuthophilus known for Manitoba are pallescens, fusiformis (grasslands, open pine woods) & pallidus (short grass plains and wooded areas); This is going by Vickery et al., 1985. C. pallescens has been found in wells and in cellar stairways in southwestern Manitoba, C. maculatus is known to inhabit cellars and basements on occasion and the species has been recorded in Winnipeg.
