The authors give a counterexample to show that theorem 3.1 from \it S. K. Ntouyas, Y. G. Sficas and \it P. Ch. Tsamatos [J. Differ. Equations 114, No. 2, 527-537 (1994; Zbl 810.34061)] fails. This theorem is concerned with an existence theorem for initial value problems for neutral functional differential equations of the form $$d\over dt[x(t)-λg(t,x\sb t)]=λf(t,x\sb t),\quad t\in[0,T],\tag 1$$ $$x\sb 0=ǎrphi∈C([-r,0],\bbfR\sp n),\tag 2$$ where $x\sb t(s)=x(t+s)$ ($s\in[-r,0]$), and $f$, $g$ are continuous functions from $[0,T]\times C([-r,0],{\bbfR}\sp n)$ into ${\bbfR}\sp n$, $\lambda\in[0,1]$. \par The given correction of this theorem is as follows. Let $f$ and $g$ be completely continuous and for any bounded $\Lambda∈C([-r,T],{\bbfR}\sp n)$ the set $\{t↦g(t,x\sb t): x\in\Lambda\}$ is equicontinuous in $C([0,T],{\bbfR}\sp n)$. Let, moreover, exist a constant $K$ such that $‖x‖\sb{C([-r,T],{\bbfR}\sp n)}≤K$ for each solution of (1)–(2) and any $\lambda\in[0,1]$. Then the problem (1)–(2) for $\lambda=1$ has at least one solution in $[-r,T]$. The equations with infinite delay and the problem of periodic solutions are also discussed.
