We consider a family of the Liénard–type equations, which members appear in a vast range of applications. We study connections, given by the generalized Sundman transformations, between this family of equations and type II Painlevé–Gambier equations. As a result, we find a new condition that allow us to construct the closed–form general solution for each member of the corresponding family of the Liénard–type equations. We illustrate our results by providing two new examples of the integrable Liénard–type equations.
