Discriminant = -132.
Consider the quadratic form f(x,y) = ax^2 + bxy + cy^2. When the discriminant d=b^2-4ac is -4 times an idoneal number (A000926), there is exactly one class for each genus. As a result, the primes generated by f(x,y) are the same as the primes congruent to S (mod -d), where S is a set of numbers less than -d. The table on page 60 of Cox shows that there are exactly 331 quadratic forms having this property. The 217 sequences starting with this one complete the collection in the OEIS.
When a=1 and b=0, f(x,y) is a quadratic form whose congruences are discussed in A139642. Let N be an idoneal number. Then there are 2^r reduced quadratic forms whose discriminant is -4N, where r=1,2,3, or 4. By collecting the residuals p (mod 4N) for primes p generated by the i-th reduced quadratic form, we can empirically find a set Si. To show that the 2^r sets Si are complete, we only need to show that the union of the Si is equal to the set of numbers k such that the Jacobi symbol (-k/4N)=1.
