mite infestation has a whitish weblike stuff under the leaf(or the underside of the leaf seems to be perspiring)....your picture looks like its a fungi infestation (dark center with a yellow ring around it) or some water mark damage....
just for your peace of mind:

a cheap home remedy

12 drops dish soap
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon extract=the one found on the supermarket aisle with the vanilla and almond extract for baking
2 cups tepid water

mix this in a spray bottle and drench the whole plant
make some more and soak the pot for 5 min to kill the insect eggs

repeat after a week....two weeks rest then repeat again for 2 weeks interval

*this is not harmful to humans or pets = it also serves as a watering method
