In crossing fruit flies to determine the patterns of inheritance. The parent generation both have red eyes. The first generation of offspring have one differing characteristic; eye color. Thirty-one of the offspring have red eyes and 13 have dark brown eyes. - Monohybrid crossing.

The second generation of offspring have one differing characteristic; eye color. Thirty-three are born with red eyes, 8 with white eyes and 13 with dark brown eyes. - Dihybrid crossing.

If this isn't correct, could you please explain why? I can provide additional details if needed.

In both crosses, you are considering only a single character/gene: eye color and the single gene that controls it (unless there is implicit information, such as 2 different genes being involved in eye-color determination).  The number of alleles or phenotypes for a given gene or character does not determine the type of cross, the number of characters/genes does.  So they would both be monohybrid crosses.
