The paper deals with the unique solvability of the following Volterra integral equation \[ Mu(t)+ \int^t_0 k(t-s)Lu (s)ds=f(t),\;t\in[0,T], \tag{1} \] in a reflexive Banach space \(X\). Here \(M\) and \(L\) are closed linear operators with \(D(L)\subset D(M)\) and \(\theta\in \rho(L)\). Moreover, \(k: [0,T] \to\mathbb{R}\). Two cases are investigated: a) there exists a constant \(K\) such that \(\|(M (sM+L)^{-1})^k\|\leq K/s^k\) for any \(s>0\) and \(k=1,2,\dots\) (hyperbolic case), b) there exists a constant \(K\) such that \(\|M(\lambda M+L)^{-1} \|\leq K/(1+ |\lambda |)\), for \(\text{Re} \lambda\geq 0\) (parabolic case).
