I'd wenture Parodia something, from "true" Parodias.

It seems like Parodia subterranea has a straight spines, and your plant has curved ones. I think it is Coryphantha palmeri

As you say Lucy some Parodia subterranea's do have straight spines, but some do have hooked ones and that is certainly a Parodia.

Coryphantha palmeri does have hooked spines but looks rather different.

The range of spination varies according to which species you reduce into synonymy with it as in the link below.
