COMMENTS
Since the diagram is symmetric so all terms are even numbers.
For another version with subparts see A340848 from which first differs at a(6).
FORMULA
a(n) = A340833(n) + A237271(n) - 1 (Euler's formula).

n: 1 2 3 4 5 6
a(n): 4 6 8 10 10 12
.
For n = 6 the diagram has 12 edges so a(6) = 12.
On the other hand the diagram has 12 vertices and only one part or region, so applying Euler's formula we have that a(6) = 12 + 1 - 1 = 12.

n: 7 8 9
a(n): 12 14 16
.
For n = 9 the diagram has 16 edges so a(9) = 16.
On the other hand the diagram has 14 vertices and three parts or regions, so applying Euler's formula we have that a(9) = 14 + 3 - 1 = 16.
