ID: P. flexibilispinus and E. atacamensis ssp. pasacana?

Post by Glorioustache »

Hello!

I recently acquired 6 new specimens but I have been having a hard time identifying two of them. I have already researched thoroughly and watched thousands of photographs trying to find the proper ID for them, as well as asking around.
The first one is very likely P. flexibilispinus and the other one E. atacamensis ssp. pasacana. Would you agree? Or does anyone thinks they could be any other possible species?

Thanks a lot Antissep! P. calcisaxicolus seems to be a synonym of P. flexibilispinus. Beautiful species! I had not found yet that other species you mentioned E. rhodotricha ssp. chacoana but looking at photographs of it on the internet it could very well be that one. I think that time will tell, maybe in a year or two of growth. Cheers my friend
