The light quarks, forming the diquark, and the light diquark in the baryon are treated completely relativistically. The expansion in v/c up to the second order is used only for the heavy (b and c) quarks. The internal structure of the diquark is taken into account by inserting the diquark-gluon interaction form factor. An overall good agreement of the obtained predictions with available experimental data is found.13 pages; changed title; added Table VIII, note on new experimental data and references; version to be published in Phys.Lett.BHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyMasses of excited heavy baryons in the relativistic quark-diquark picturetext
