%N Number of connected labeled almost cubic graphs on 2n nodes.

%C Almost cubic graphs are cubic graphs (A002829) where 2 points have degree 2 and these 2 points are non-adjacent. All other points have degree 3. They are constructed by removing an edge from the cubic graphs.

%e There is 1 unlabeled almost cubic graph on 4 nodes (the kite, obtained by removing an edge of the tetrahedron K_4). This has 6 = binomial(4,2) labeled versions obtained by selecting two out of 4 labels for the points of degree 2.
