    A main class will contain a certain type of Parker square if and only if each square in the class is isotopic to a Parker square of that type.

    2004, Ian M. Wanless, “Diagonally cyclic latin squares”, in European Journal of Combinatorics, volume 25, number 3

    Thus, Parker squares of different types may lie in the same isomorphism class and, a fortiori, in the same isotopism or main class of latin squares.
