Comments

Equivalently, the number of unrooted bicolored triangulations with 2*n triangles (and thus 3*n edges).

Equivalently, the number of pairs of permutations (alpha,sigma) up to simultaneous conjugacy on a set of size 3*n with alpha^3=sigma^3=1, acting transitively and without fixed points.

There is no recurrence relation known for this sequence.
