Mammillaria something
Unfortunately no flower to make this easier. I know it's a Mammillaria, just need the species.

Re: Mammillaria something
fumbling blindly in the web yields me the central spineless form of Mammillaria duwei, Mammillaria nana spp. duwei, or Mammillaria crinita var. duwei
If experts here could kindly confirm, that would be great!
If it is in fact the correct ID, could someone tell be if it's still considered a stand alone species today, or has it been classified under M.nana, or M.crinita? Not that it's relevant for cultivation, I am just curious.

Re: Mammillaria something
absolutely M. duwei, although whether or not it should be considered a Species or a SubSpecies is beyond me. You will LOVE this cactus when it flowers.

Re: Mammillaria something
Yes, the feathery spines are characteristic of duwei. Very good pictures, by the way, I wish everyone seeking an ID could do as well!
