COMMENTS
For n >= 2, a connected bipartite graph has a unique bipartition, up to interchanging the two parts. For equal part sizes, automorphisms interchanging the two parts must also be excluded.

FORMULA
Let b(p,q) be the number of connected asymmetric bipartite graphs with bipartition sizes p and q, counted up to isomorphism. Then a(n) = Sum_{1 <= p <= q, p+q=n} b(p,q).
EXAMPLE
a(7) = 3: there are 3 nonisomorphic connected bipartite graphs on 7 vertices with trivial automorphism group.
