We consider an SU(4) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory spontaneously broken to SO(4) by a scalar field in the n× n representation and the unbroken algebra invariant under Cartan automorphism. We obtain that \mathbb Z2 monopoles in this theory belong to different classes of su(2) embeddings associated to continuous families of up to four parameters. This result generalizes the discrete families of \mathbb Z2 monopoles previously known as well as it shows new classes of embeddings.
