This species was described from a single female from Canada (British Columbia, Verde Creek, northeast from Copper Mountain, holotype deposited in the CNC). Exix is mostly a Neotropical genus, with only Exix columbica reaching the Nearctic, and no more species expected from North America (Fernandez-Triana 2010, Mason 1981, Whitfield 1995). Nothing is known about the hosts caterpillars parasitized by this braconid wasp.

Assessment using the prioritization criteria developed by COSEWIC. Existing global conservation status: None (species is not listed on Natureserve nor has it been assigned a Canadian national conservation status rank). Canadian population size and trends: No information on population size is available. Threats: Residential and commercial development – medium to high (the single area where the species occurs is populated); Agriculture and aquaculture – unknown; Human intrusions and disturbance – medium; Natural system modifications – high (alteration of the area would likely extirpate the species from Canada); Invasive and other problematic species and genes – unknown but likely low, unless another wasp species parasitizing the same host would be introduced (and then competing for the same host, an scenario not likely to occur); Climate change and severe weather – unknown. Small extent of occurrence or area of occupancy: Recorded from one locality in Canada (the only locality known for the species). Limiting biological factors: Unknown.
