%N Numbers whose base-4 representation is the decimal representation of a prime.

%C All terms are congruent to 1 or 3 (mod 4) (except for the first one) and congruent to 1 or 5 (mod 6) (except for the first two); although not all terms are prime, as e.g., 55, 77, 91, 115, 121, 133, 169, 203, ... - _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 25 2015

%C Numbers (not necessarily prime) which are prime if written in base 4 and reinterpreted in base 10. Numbers n such that A007090(n) is in A000040. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 28 2015

%e 55 is in the sequence because 55_10 = 313_4 and 313_10 is prime.

%e 313 is in the sequence because 313_10 = 10321_4 and 10321_10 is prime.

%e 31 is not in the sequence because 31_10 = 133_4 and 133_10 = 7*19 is not prime.
