Cohen–Lenstra conjectural density for 8-rank in the case d=4d=-4

Let d=4d=-4. For primes p,qp,q with pq?pq\to\text{?}, write Cl(dpq)\mathrm{Cl}(dpq) for the relevant narrow class group, and let rk4\mathrm{rk}_4 and rk8\mathrm{rk}_8 denote its 4-rank and 8-rank. The conjectural density for d=4d=-4.

limX#{pqX:rk4Cl(dpq)=2, rk8Cl(dpq)1}#{pqX:rk4Cl(dpq)=2}=58.\lim_{X\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\#\{pq\leq X: \mathrm{rk}_4\mathrm{Cl}(dpq)=2,\ \mathrm{rk}_8\mathrm{Cl}(dpq)\geq 1\}}{\#\{pq\leq X: \mathrm{rk}_4\mathrm{Cl}(dpq)=2\}}=\frac{5}{8}.

This value comes from applying the Cohen–Lenstra–Gerth heuristic to the 2-primary part of the class group. The conjecture matches numerical data, but the source gives no proof of the limiting density.
