%N Dihedral unlabeled Motzkin numbers: number of ways of drawing any number of nonintersecting chords joining n unlabeled points equally spaced on a circle, up to rotations and reflections of the circle.

%C Unlabeled version of A001006. Another version is given by A175954.

%C The number of ways of drawing exactly n chords joining 2n unlabeled points up to rotations and reflections is A006082(n+1). - _Andrey Zabolotskiy_, May 24 2018
