According to my book G. megatae is a synonym for G. tudae. Tudae was my first guess, but my book says it's only 6 cm high, and your picture seems to show a larger plant. But tudae must be very variable and is listed with many synonyms in my book, so of course some of them could be higher.
My book says that G. hamatum grows in Gran Chaco - Bolivia, but I see from the map that Gran Chaco extends into Paraguay. Thats why I thought that hamatum also could grow in Paraguay.
Perhaps they are the same species. Could Daiv check?
I edit this post cause I found some information on internet that confirms my suspicion:
Scientific Name: Gymnocalycium marsoneri Y. Ito
Synonym: Gymnocalycium onychacanthum, Gymnocalycium hamatum, Gymnocalycium pseudomalacocarpus, Gymnocalycium fricianum, Gymnocalycium tudae, Gymnocalycium megatae, Gymnocalycium tortuga

But what is the correct name? Could someone check.
