COMMENTS
The primes of A080359 larger than 3 all have the property that the integers in the interval selected by halving the value of the preceding prime and halving their own value are all composite. This sequence here collects the primes that are not in A080359 but still share this property of the prime-free subinterval.

FORMULA
EXAMPLE
For the prime 1531=A000040(242), the preceding prime is A000040(241)=1523, and the integers from (1523+1)/2 = 762 up to (1531-1)/2 = 765 are all composite, as they fall in the gap between A000040(135) and A000040(136). In addition, 1531 is not in A080359, which adds 1531 to this sequence here.
