Are you positive on that ID?
Myzocallis tuberculata is often found on oak, but I have not been able to find a good picture or reference for the species.

My understanding is that Tuberculatus often have large tubercles on the thorax in addition to the abdomen, or if they don't have large thoracic tubercles, the abdominal tubercles are also reducted, but again I'm not positive and I am double checking with Dave Voegtlin. I'd love an explanation if you are positive on the ID, its not a genus I've collected much.
