Jumping insect - Diestrammena asynamora - female

Jumping insect - Diestrammena asynamora - Female
Delaware County, Pennsylvania, USA
Size: 1-2 inches
This is an insect that I frequently find in my basement. They rarely move even when I approach them, but will jump 1-2 feet if I try to prod them. I thought they might be some sort of crickets, but they do not chirp.

Probably it's in the genus Ceuthophilus
These are difficult to identify to species from photographs. This one is a female.

Can you add the date the photo was taken? It's often very useful to know.

Moved from ID Request.
