Here, negative integers whose absolute value is prime are considered prime.

FORMULA
a(n) = A000594(A135430(n)).
EXAMPLE
A135430(1) = 63001, and tau(63001) = -80561663527802406257321747, so a(1) = -80561663527802406257321747.
PROG
(PARI) for (x=0, 1000, n=(2*x+1)^2; a=ramanujantau(n); if(isprime(abs(a)), print1(a", "))) \\ Dana Jacobsen, Dec 30 2015
