FORMULA
G.f.: g(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8) = (1/8)*(y1^(n^2)+2*y1^n*y2^((n^2-n)/2)+3*y2^(n^2/2)+2*y4^(n^2/4)) if n even and (1/8)*(y1^(n^2)+4*y1^n*y2^((n^2-n)/2)+y1*y2^((n^2-1)/2)+2*y1*y4^((n^2-1)/4)) if n odd, where coefficient correspond to y1=Sum_{i=1..8} x_i, y2=Sum_{i=1..8} x_i^2, y4=Sum_{i=1..8} x_i^4 and occurrences of numbers are ceiling(n^2/8) for the first k numbers and floor(n^2/8) for the last (8-k) numbers, if n^2 = k mod 8.
EXAMPLE
For n = 3 the a(4) = 10216251360 solutions are colorings of 4 X 4 matrices in 8 colors inequivalent under the action of D_4 with exactly 2 occurrences of each color (coefficient of x1^2 x2^2 x3^2 x4^2 x5^2 x6^2 x7^2 x8^2).
