pwQ[n_]:=Module[{idn=IntegerDigits[n]},First[idn]==Last[idn]&&Union[Abs[ Differences[idn]]]=={2}]; Select[Prime[Range[50000000]],pwQ] (* Harvey P. Dale, Mar 26 2013 *)
Formula
Select prime numbers having the same first and last digits; if the uniform absolute value of successive digit differences is 2, add to sequence.
