COMMENTS
Also the number of connected skeletal 2-cliquish graphs with n vertices. See Einstein et al. link below.
a(n) can be computed from A265580 and/or A265581, and partitions of n, by taking all loopless multigraphs (V,E) with |V| + |E| = n and subtracting out the disconnected ones.
a(n) <= A265580(n) except when n=1, and a(n) < A265580(n) for n>=6.

FORMULA
From Andrew Howroyd, Feb 01 2020: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..ceiling(n/2)} A191646(n-k, k) for n > 0.
Inverse Euler transform of A265581. (End)
EXAMPLE
For n = 5, the a(5) = 2 such multigraphs are the graph with three vertices and edges from one vertex to each of the other two, and the graph with two vertices connected by three edges.
