As Lefty says could be Lobivia ferox of which Lobivia longispina is usually taken to be a synonym. Ferox = fierce, a reference to the long spines.
As the link below says Lobivia's are often variable in spination and flower colour within the same species.
"This is a very variable species especially in shape and and length of spines and in flowers colour. Since the various forms are connected by intermediates it is extremely difficult to recognize infraspecific taxa."

Probably Lobivia ferox, indeed. It comes in many forms and shapes!
