Most certainly Neochlamisius
Most certainly Neochlamisius as all oak-feeding Cryptocephalus presently known feed on decaying oak leaves as larvae. Chlamisine larvae on the other hand feed almost exclusively on living host foliage.

Chrysomelidae
This is another of the case-bearing leaf beetles, subfamilies Chlamisinae and Cryptocephalinae. Stehr (Immature Insects, Vol. 2) lists several characters to distinguish them but they require microscopic examination of preserved specimens.
