A new class of integrals involving the confluent hypergeometric function 1F1(a;c;z) and the Riemann Ξ-function is considered. It generalizes a class containing some integrals of Ramanujan, Hardy and Ferrar and gives, as by-products, transformation formulae of the form F(z, α) = F(iz, β), where αβ = 1. As particular examples, we derive an extended version of the general theta transformation formula and generalizations of certain formulae of Ferrar and Hardy. A one-variable generalization of a well-known identity of Ramanujan is also given. We conclude with a generalization of a conjecture due to Ramanujan, Hardy and Littlewood involving infinite series of the Möbius function.
