This systematic review gathered information on the spatial distribution in southern Brazil of the sandfly Migonemyia migonei, a possible vector of Leishmania species that cause visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Articles were searched from the PubMed, Scielo, Web of Science, and Scopus databases using the keywords: “Migonemyia migonei AND Paraná”, “Migonemyia migonei AND Santa Catarina”, “Migonemyia migonei AND Rio Grande do Sul”, "phlebotomine AND Parana", " flebotomíneo AND Paraná" and “sandfly AND Paraná”, "phlebotomine AND Santa Catarina;", " flebotomíneo AND Santa Catarina" and “sandfly AND Santa Catarina”, "phlebotomine AND Rio Grande do Sul;", " flebotomíneo AND Rio Grande do Sul”, and “sandfly AND Rio Grande do Sul”. The initial search identified 322 articles that met the selection criteria. Empty files or duplicated were then excluded. The titles were screened, and the full texts were obtained. This review included 36 articles, covering 72 of the 399 (18.04%) municipalities in Paraná state, one of the 295 (0.33%) in Santa Catarina, and two of the 497 (0.40%) in Rio Grande do Sul. Mg. migonei was found in 54 municipalities of Paraná state, in one municipality of Santa Catarina, and in one of Rio Grande do Sul. Based on the wide distribution of Mg. migonei in the municipalities of Paraná, greater monitoring is required regarding cases of VL in humans and animals in this region, in addition to epidemiological investigations of these cases of suspected autochthony, as well as increased prevention and control efforts. More studies on VL are required in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
