\textit{Sam Nadler} has asked in his book [Hyperspaces of sets, Monogr. Textb. Pure Appl. Math., Vol 49 (1978; Zbl 0432.54007), (0.62)]: ``What are some other classes of continua, besides (0.59) and (0.60), whose members are \({\mathcal C}\)-determined? It is nown that the members of the following classes are \({\mathcal C}\)-determined: (1) finite graphs which are different from an arc and a circle [\textit{R. Duda}, Fundam. Math. 62, 265-286 (1968; Zbl 0167.51401), 9.1 and \textit{S. B. Nadler} jun., loc. cit., (0.59)]; (2) hereditarily indecomposable continua [\textit{S. B. Nadler} jun., loc. cit. (0.60)]; (3) smooth fans [\textit{C. Eberhart} and \textit{S. B. Nadler} jun., Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 77, 279-288 (1979; Zbl 0413.57010), 3.3]. The purpose of this paper is to add to this list the class of indecomposable continua for which all of their nondegenerate proper subcontinua are arcs. To this end we use a modification of the proof of Theorem 5.7 of [\textit{S. B. Nadler} jun., Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 230, 321-345 (1977; Zbl 0356.54011)].
