Help with two IDs
I received two new cacti, and I'm totally lost with their identification again. Could somebody help me with the species?

1 a clump of Thelocactus bicolor (better to plant separately) keep dry and cool till the spring.
2 very etiolated Rebutia sp. (perplexa??) Needs much sun and dry cool overwintering till the spring. ID will be possible when plant will get it's natural shape and spination (very easy and possible) and flowering. It's NOT chamaecereus if someone try to sell such name.
Check roots for mealybugs!

Thanks again for the fast and exact identification and advice, Anttisepp! Rebutia didn't come into my mind at all, because I was only thinking species with hanging or crawling growth habits and nothing seemed to fit. This strong etiolation was unexpected, because the plant had grown on the south window under artificial light at 12-15 C without any mealybugs or other pests. Kiitos!
