Deuterostomial animal with segmentation and cephalisation would belong to phylum Chordata.
Explanation:
There are three deuterostomial animal phyla: Hemichordata, Echinodermata and Chordata.
Segmentation is also seen in three other animal phyla: Annelida, Arthropoda and Chordata, but these belong to Protostomial category.
