We report evidence for spin-rotation (SR) coupling in an ultracold mixture of fermionic 6Li and bosonic 133Cs by magnetic field dependent atom-loss spectroscopy. For the p-wave (l = 1) Feshbach resonances we observe a triplet structure of different ml components. We attribute the splitting of the ml=±1 component to electronic SR coupling. The size of the SR coupling constant in the highest vibrational state of LiCs is determined to be |γ|= 0.000566(50) in units of the effective rotational constant. The SR-induced splitting is estimated for all other bialkali systems, suggesting that SR coupling has to be considered when classifying the p-wave superfluid phases in spin-polarized fermions.
