FORMULA
For n > 0, a(n) = (1/(2n))*[binomial(4n, n)/(3n+1) + Sum_{0<k<n, k|n} phi(n/k)*binomial(4k, k)+q(n)] where phi is the Euler function A000010, q(n)=0 if n is even and q(n)=binomial(2n, (n-1)/2) if n is odd.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := (1/(2n)) (Binomial[4n, n]/(3n+1) + Sum[Boole[0 < k < n] EulerPhi[ n/k] Binomial[4k, k], {k, Divisors[n]}] + q[n]);
q[n_] := If[EvenQ[n], 0, Binomial[2n, (n-1)/2]];
