FORMULA
a(n) = A227257(n) - A237430(n).
EXAMPLE
The following two cycles with n=3 are counted only once, since they are isomorphic under the full symmetry group of the square. They have a horizontal and a vertical axis respectively. No example has a diagonal axis, since this brings other symmetries (see A063524).
