Abstract: For a positive integer $tgeq2$, let $b_t(n)$ denote the number of $t$-regular partitions of a nonnegative integer $n$. In a recent paper, Keith and Zanello investigated the parity of $b_t(n)$ when $tleq28$. They discovered new infinite families of Ramanujan type congruences modulo 2 for $b_{21}(n)$ involving every prime $p$ with $pequiv13,17,19,23pmod24$. In this paper, we investigate the parity of $b_{21}(n)$ involving the primes $p$ with $pequiv1,5,7,11pmod24$. We prove new infinite families of Ramanujan type congruences modulo 2 for $b_{21}(n)$ involving the odd primes $p$ for which the Diophantine equation $8x^2+27y^2=jp$ has primitive solutions for some $jinleftlbrace1,4,8ightbrace$, and we also prove that the Dirichlet density of such primes is equal to $1/6$. Recently, Yao provided new infinite families of congruences modulo $2$ for $b_3(n)$ and those congruences involve every prime $pgeq5$ based on Newman's results. Following a similar approach, we prove new infinite families of congruences modulo $2$ for $b_{21}(n)$, and these congruences imply that $b_{21}(n)$ is odd infinitely often.
