Probably
Rivellia wulpiana, though that could change if somebody revises Mexican species.

named after the Dutch dipterist van der Wulp?

Van der Wulp misidentified the Mexican species with broad wing bands as
conjuncta Loew, which is in fact restricted to eastern North America. Hendel named the species after him.
