Comments

The halves of even numbers of the form p(p-1)/2 for p prime.

Sum of the quadratic residues of primes of the form 4k + 1. For example, a(3)=68 because 17 is the 3rd prime of the form 4k + 1 and the quadratic residues of 17 are 1, 4, 9, 16, 8, 2, 15, 13 which sum to 68. This sum is also the sum of the quadratic nonresidues. Cf. A230077. - Geoffrey Critzer, May 07 2015
