COMMENTS
In each dimension there are infinite families which we count as a single polytope: the generalized complex n-cube with generalized Schlaefli symbol m(4)2(3)2...2(3)2 with m^n vertices and its dual, the generalized complex n-cross-polytope.

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 8 because in C^3 the regular complex polytopes correspond to the following generalized Schlaefli symbols: m(4)2(3)2 (generalized complex cube), 2(3)2(4)m (generalized complex octahedron), 2(6)2(6)2 (tetrahedron), 2(6)2(10)2 (icosahedron), 2(10)2(6)2 (dodecahedron), 3(3)3(3)3, 3(3)3(4)2, 2(4)2(3)3.
