COMMENTS
From Bernard Schott, Apr 22 2019: (Start)
These primes are the primitive terms which generate the sequence of integers with only one prime factor and whose Euler's totient is a perfect biquadrate: A307690, so this sequence is a subsequence of A078164 and A307690.
If p prime = k^4 + 1, phi(p) = k^4.
The last three Fermat primes in A019434 {17, 257, 65537} belong to this sequence; with F_k = 2^(2^k) + 1 and for k = 2, 3, 4, phi(F_k) = (2^(2^(k-2)))^4. (End)
