COMMENTS
A doubly symmetric square has symmetries in both the horizontal and vertical planes (see A292517).
Every doubly symmetric diagonal Latin square also has central symmetry. The converse is not true in general. It follows that a(n) <= A340545(n). - Eduard I. Vatutin, May 28 2021

EXAMPLE
An example of a doubly symmetric diagonal Latin square:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
3 2 7 6 1 0 5 4
2 3 1 0 7 6 4 5
6 7 5 4 3 2 0 1
7 6 3 2 5 4 1 0
4 5 0 1 6 7 2 3
5 4 6 7 0 1 3 2
1 0 4 5 2 3 7 6
In the horizontal direction there is a one-to-one correspondence between elements 0 and 7, 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4.
In the vertical direction there is also a correspondence between elements 0 and 1, 2 and 4, 6 and 7, 3 and 5.
