It is shown that the following hyperspaces, endowed with the Hausdorff metric, are true absolute $F_{\sigma \delta }$-sets:
 
 
(1) ${\cal M}^2_1(X)$ of Sierpiński universal curves in a locally compact metric space $X$, provided ${\cal M}^2_1(X)\not =\emptyset $;
 
 
(2) ${\cal M}^3_1(X)$ of Menger universal curves in a locally compact metric space $X$, provided ${\cal M}^3_1(X)\not =\emptyset $;
 
 (3) 2-cells in the plane.
