From Andrey Zabolotskiy, Mar 12 2018: (Start)

The parent lattice of the sublattices under consideration has Patterson symmetry group p4, and two sublattices are considered equivalent if they are related via a symmetry from that group [Rutherford]. For other 2D Patterson groups, the analogous sequences are A000203 (p2), A069734 (p2mm), A145391 (c2mm), A145393 (p4mm), A145394 (p6), A003051 (p6mm).

If we count sublattices related by parent-lattice-preserving reflection as equivalent, we get A145393 instead of this sequence. If we count sublattices related by rotation of the sublattice only (but not parent lattice; equivalently, sublattices related by rotation by angle which is not a multiple of Pi/2; see illustration in links) as equivalent, we get A054345. If we count sublattices related by any rotation or reflection as equivalent, we get A054346.

Rutherford says at p. 161 that a(n) != A054345(n) only when A002654(n) > 1, but actually these two sequences differ at other terms, too, for example, at n = 15 (see illustration). (End)
