Dear Olivier,
I don't know any reports from New Jersey, Alboran sea and W. Morocco, only
from North Europe to Portugal.
The reports of Colus gracilis from the Mediterranean are "fossil shells or
incorrect classifications as Colus jeffreysianus"[Sabelli et al. (1992):
Annotated check-list of Mediterranean marine mollusks, vol. 2, page 399]
