Examples
There are 6 = A001615(4) lattices in Z^2 whose quotient group is C_4. The reflection through an axis relates <(4,0), (1,1)> and <(4,0), (3,1)>. The remaining 4 = a(4) lattices are fixed.

Formula
From Álvar Ibeas, Mar 18 2021: (Start)
For n even, a(n) = A034444(n) + A034444(n/2). If 4|n, a(n) = 2^(A001221(n) + 1); otherwise, a(n) = 3 * 2^(A001221(n) - 1).
Multiplicative with a(2) = 3, a(2^e) = 4 (for e>1), and a(p^e) = 2 (for p>2).
Dirichlet g.f.: (1+2^(-s)) * zeta(s)^2 / zeta(2s).

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ (log(n) + 2*gamma - log(2)/3 - 2*zeta'(2)/zeta(2) - 1)*9*n/Pi^2, where gamma is Euler's constant (A001620). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 31 2022
