Also, apparently a(n) is the number of nonequivalent (up to lattice-preserving affine transformation) triangles on 2D square lattice of area n/2 [Karpenkov]. - Andrey Zabolotskiy, Jul 06 2017
From Andrey Zabolotskiy, Jan 18 2018: (Start)
The parent lattice of the sublattices under consideration has Patterson symmetry group p6, and two sublattices are considered equivalent if they are related via a symmetry from that group [Rutherford]. For other 2D Patterson groups, the analogous sequences are A000203 (p2), A069734 (p2mm), A145391 (c2mm), A145392 (p4), A145393 (p4mm), A003051 (p6mm).
If we count sublattices related by parent-lattice-preserving reflection as equivalent, we get A003051 instead of this sequence. If we count sublattices related by rotation of the sublattice only (but not parent lattice; equivalently, sublattices related by rotation by angle which is not a multiple of Pi/3; see illustration in links) as equivalent, we get A054384. If we count sublattices related by any rotation or reflection as equivalent, we get A300651.
