COMMENTS
Odd prime p is in the sequence iff A064078(A002326((p-1)/2))=p. For example, for p=127 we have A002326((127-1)/2)=7 and A064078(7)=127. Thus p=127 is in the sequence.
Primes p such that the binary expansion of 1/p has a unique period length; that is, no other prime has the same period. Sequence A161509 sorted. - T. D. Noe, Apr 13 2010
Since A161509 has terms of varying magnitude, sorting any finite initial segment of A161509 cannot provide a guarantee that there are no other terms missed in between. Any prime p not (yet) appearing in A161509 should be tested via A064078(A002326((p-1)/2))=p to conclude whether it belongs to the current sequence. - Max Alekseyev, Feb 10 2024
EXAMPLE
Overpseudoprimes to base 2 are odd, then a(1)=2.
