Comments

Unicursal (in a broad sense) means that no more than two vertices are of odd valency (that is maps possessing an Eulerian path or cycle).

Formula

a(n) = A000257(n) + A069720(n).

Mathematica

a[n_] := 2^(n-1)*(3*Binomial[2*n, n]/((n+1)*(n+2))+Binomial[2*n-1, n]); a[0]=1; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 20}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 11 2014 *)
