Regular cube surface tours

Here is a collection of (presumably) all regular cube surface tours with at most 200 vertices. Each one is given a label according to the number of vertices.
The label links to a text file containing the tour presented like a Gauss code for knots, except that we are not specifying "over" and "under" crossings, and it also contains
the feasible values of a and b. Next to the label, there is one or more illustration(s) (one for each (a, b) pair). These are also clickable for a better view of each one.

One might suspect that the number of vertices of a regular cube surface tour with two different (a, b) pairs and no double edges must be either 3 times a triangular number, or 8 times a generalized pentagonal number.
