n is in the sequence iff the palindromic number 1(n).5.1(n) is prime (dot between numbers means concatenation). If n is in the sequence then n is not of the forms 3m+2, 18m+12, 18m+14, 22m+4, 22m+6, etc. (the proof is easy).

FORMULA
a(n) = (A077783(n)-1)/2.
EXAMPLE
1248 is in the sequence because (10^(2*1248+1)+36*10^1248-1)/9=1(1248).5.1(1248) is prime.
