COMMENTS
The sequence A005809 records the number of points of period n under a map. The number of orbits of length n for this map gives the sequence above.
a(n) is divisible by n (cf. A268617), 2*a(n) is divisible by n^2 (cf. A268618).

FORMULA
a(n) = (1/n)* Sum_{d|n} A008683(n/d)*A005809(d).
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 27 since a map whose periodic points are counted by A005809 has 3 fixed points and 84 points of period 3, hence 27 orbits of length 3.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = sumdiv(n, d, moebius(n/d)*binomial(3*d, d))/n; \\ Michel Marcus, Sep 10 2017
