FORMULA
a(n) = A014377(n) - A181153(n).
EXAMPLE
a(0)=0 because even though the null graph (on zero vertices) is vacuously 7-regular and connected, since it is acyclic, it has infinite girth.
The a(4)=1 complete graph on 8 vertices is 7-regular; it has 28 edges and 56 triangles.

A014377 = A@014377;
