They form the intersection of A005845 and A013998.
Only one of currently listed terms of A013998 belongs to A005845 -
it's 46672291.
Yet another pseudoprime comes from A018187 (a subsequence of A013998)
- it's 7045248121.
Perhaps, the sequence of Lucas-Perrin pseudoprimes starts with:
46672291, 7045248121, ...
