Interdemic 'extinction' is actually a typo in CSIR-NET syllabus; instead of 'extinction' it gotta be 'selection'. It is a type of natural selection which acts upon populations within a species.Interdemic selection occurs when populations die out (so in a way go extinct) or give rise to new populations at different rates, depending on whether they have traits that are beneficial or harmful to the population as a whole.

You can go through the paper Bruce R. Levin and William L. Kilmer, 1974. Interdemic Selection and the Evolution of Altruism: A Computer Simulation Study Author(s). Evolution , 28, (4), 527-545.
