Multicostatus by definition has many ribs. This is most probably something else

All Stenocactus have many ribs, that is apart from the type species, but the name multicostatus = many ribs, and it has even more and usually thinner than the rest.

"Ribs: Many as the name implies, typically 50 to 100 (but occasionally up to 150 or more) very tight, thin, acute, wavy, very broad at the areoles."

...?!
When I look at this cactus, I can see many ribs.
When I look at the lexicon (https://cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus=St ... ticostatus), the non-flowering young plants look as my plant did when it was young.
The name was given here in the forum.
If you know a better name, please tell me.
