An identity stated by Kimura and proved by Ruehr, Kimura and others stipulates that for any function $f$ continuous on $[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}]$ one has $$ \int_{-1/2}^{3/2} f(3x^2 - 2x^3) dx = 2 \int_0^1 f(3x^2 - 2x^3) dx. $$ We prove that this equality is not an isolated example by providing a family of polynomials, related to the Tchebychev polynomials and of which $(3x^2 - 2x^3)$ is a particular case, giving rise to similar identities.
