Also equal to the number of anti-chains in the poset of integer partitions of k not equal to (1^k) where mu < lambda iff mu is coarser than lambda and r(mu) >= r(lambda) where r(lambda) = smallest part of lambda not equal to 1.

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 3 because the uniform block permutations of size 3; S_3; and the monoid consisting of S_3 and the element with one block are the only three sub-monoids.
