Yes, I think that's the correct family,
I'll put her under the family until I can have a better chance to sort through them. I'm not sure how easy it will be to identify her to species, but since there are few species in Missouri, it will likely be possible. Probably it is Cycloptilum squamosum or perhaps C. trigonipalpum.

Moved from Long-horned Orthoptera.

Moved for expert attention. (Moved twice, evidently... Sorry. This new laptop is giving me fits. Obviously, it's a bit more sensitive than I'm used to.)

Wild guess alert...
Having found nothing more compelling in the Guide, I'm wondering if this might be one of the Scaly Crickets (Mogoplistidae):



I could be way off, however, so wait to see what the experts have to say.
