For any (p, q) graph G, the vertices and blocks of a graph are called its members. The semitotal block graph Tb(G) of a graph G as the graph whose set of vertices is the union of the set of vertices and blocks of G and in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding vertices of G are adjacent or the corresponding members are incident.. The regular number of a Tb(G) is the minimum number of subsets into which the edge set of Tb(G) should be partitioned so that the subgraph induced by each subset is regular and is denoted by Tb(G). In this paper some results on regular number of Tb(G) were obtained and expressed in terms of elements of G.
